Banned books are another facet of the coup against democracy. In a system built on "ignorance is not an excuse," one is required to be fully informed. The fact we fail to teach objective thinking skills in all areas is turgid stupidity beyond any form of redemption.

I disagree on the stupid part. If one's goal is to have a class too stupid to oppose you and are dumb enough to vote against their own best interest all the time it's quite smart. There is a razor that says something like don't sign malice where stupidity can apply, but in this case we clearly have evidence it's intended and not lunacy.
