FTRW 2010 – Nothing Warms The Heart Like The Call For A Good Book Burning

So many choice quotes in this article – unfortunately, you can't make this stuff up:

“The row even spread to this year's Fourth of July parade, which
included a float featuring a washing machine and a sign that read “keep
our library clean.”


“Outside West Bend, the fight caught the attention of Robert Braun,
who, with three other Milwaukee-area men, filed a claim against West
Bend calling for one of the library's books to be publicly burned,
along with financial damages.

The four plaintiffs — who
describe themselves as “elderly” in their complaint — claim their
“mental and emotional well-being was damaged by [the] book at the
library.”

“We want parents to decide whether they want their children to have
access to these books … and we want the library's help in identifying
[them through labeling and moving],” Maziarka said. “It's just common
sense.”
