WHAT? This is completely ridiculous. Who gave these people the right to decide what is and isn't appropriate? They obviously have no idea what they are doing.

Look at these three particularly outrageous ones:

2. “And Tango Makes Three” by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson
Reasons: Homosexuality

3. “The Perks of Being A Wallflower,” by Stephen Chbosky
Reasons: Homosexuality, Sexually Explicit, Anti-Family, Offensive Language, Religious Viewpoint, Unsuited to Age Group, Drugs, Suicide

4. “To Kill A Mockingbird,” by Harper Lee
Reasons: Racism, Offensive Language, Unsuited to Age Group

Okay, To Kill A Mockingbird is AGAINST racism. Did you even read the book? Or did you just glance through it, say, "Oh, look, the Black people are in a different area than the white people. It must be racist"? You obviously didn't understand the book AT ALL, if you even read it, although with assumptions like these, you probably haven't.

Homosexuality? Really? Okay, let's spread a message of hate, tell our children that anybody different is evil, and should be shunned, or beaten into sanity. While we're at it, let's tell them that they can't be black, asian, overweight, jewish, muslim, brunette, red headed, green eyed or brown eyed either. Why don't we tell them that the only acceptable thing is for exact sameness; white, blonde hair, blue eyes, Christian and physically fit. In fact, why don't we all become Nazi's while we're at it?

COME ON! ARE YOU THAT STUPID? ARE YOU REALLY THAT CLOSED MINDED? YOU PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS! YOU ARE A SHAME TO HUMANITY! JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS DIFFERENT DOESN'T MAKE THEM EVIL! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO BRAINWASH CHILDREN INTO BEING ALL ALIKE, EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOUR PATHETIC SELVES JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT?

I'm sorry. I felt really angry. I really needed to get that out of my system. Things like this make me so angry, and I lose faith in humanity.
