R. A a. V. Day article a conservatives Lead in efforts to censor books study says Are Only trying to protect our children. I am certain that children Are not intelligent enough to understand the underlying themes of these works and being so immature will Only read the offensive sentences or look at the scandalous Pic turns Over and Over becoming less than innocent in the process. As an alternative to questionable fiction i want them to read about american history or world politics both composed of solid facts. And As i am sure you Are aware neither of these subjects Ever deals with violence or sexuality i also think that we should encourage children to watch prime time television where they can see hour upon hour of perfect people doing the morally right thing sandwiched amongst Happy commercials by companies Selling products like Beer with completely clothed sales men i might add. I want them to View the evening news where they will never encounter the Issue of the homeless political intrigue watch the slow starvation of millions or hear of deaths caused by abuse murder drugs or . A police  yes please censor the books. Start with the classics move to Quot popular fiction then Progress to textbooks. Censor them All. Start by purging breasts satanism and profanity.
