A way out here behind the Zion Curtain, we've got us a genuine dust up over books. Books in high school libraries to be quite specific. Or exact. Doesn't really matter much. You see there are parents living within the Canyon School District that have their puritanical knickers all in a wad over icky books. Any and all books that fall into disfavor with puritanical parents are 'officially' considered as icky. Books about critical race theory, that gawdawful "homosexual love", gays with children, lesbians in general, and anything that doesn't quite fit in with today's postmodern conservatism. That should read fascist/nazi nuance. You see there are nine yes count them 9 books that have fallen under the old fascist/nazi censorship guidelines AND the puritanical parents (one single fascist/nazi mother) demanded those dang icky books be removed from school libraries and the questionable books have been removed. That's how censorship works a way out here behind the Zion Curtain. One lone mother that wouldn't know literary freedom IF that literary freedom were to bite the bitch on her rather large tookas. Mom has to wear a 'wide load' sign on her rather large keister so as to give folks notice that she's a coming or going this a way. Or that a way. Just get outta her way or she'll hip knock you to the side of a road. Or aisle. Whatever. You'd think that in this here early quarter of the twenty first century, people would have intellectually evolved beyond Neanderthal knuckle dragging. Well not here in Utah. So to add insult to First Amendment injury, the goodly folk living within the confines of the Canyon School District are going to hold a book burning the week prior to Xmas. There was some serious discussions over whether to burn several of the local witches along with the books but that notion was tabled AS it was decided that burning local witches might seem controversial. Yeah, controversial. It is however almost perfectly legal to burn witches in Utah and the burners don't even need to get a permit. You do need a permit to burn books but that technicality will soon be removed by Utah's genius all old boy network Legislature. Can't be a havin' no dang permit requirements to burn books by golly. Restrictions on burning witches is under "discussions" at Utah's Legislature. There's even a legislative committee on the witch burning subject. Go figure. Machine art is next.
