Just ban all books about history because there is nothing pretty and sweet about any of it. It all came about with the blood, sweat, and tears of millions of people. They were hung, gutted, scalped, knifed, shot, beaten, burned, beheaded.....need I go on? And they all probably said fuck, too.

Then let's raise a generation of wimps. It's bad enough now.

But you made the best point of all....kids like to do what they are told not to and if there's a book they aren't allowed to read they are damn sure going to get their hands on it.

We snuck "Myra Breckinridge" under the covers at night so my parents didn't know.
