You might not think a best-selling book for kids called “Captain Underpants” would be terribly objectionable, but, as it turns out, it tops the 2013 list of books most challenged in schools and libraries in 2013. Why? Reasons cited by challengers: Offensive language, unsuited for age group, violence.
It’s Banned Books Week, an annual event to celebrate the freedom to read — including material considered unpopular and/or radical — and to focus on the dangers of censorship. Various events are being held across the country to highlight those books that have been challenged by parents, teachers and others and removed or restricted in public libraries and schools.
The annual week is sponsored by a range of organizations in the book community, including the American Library Association, the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, the National Coalition Against Censorship, and the National Council of Teachers of English.
The American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom monitors attempts to ban or restrict books and maintains lists of the most challenged. Here are the top 10 lists from 2001 to 2013:

I don't know. Both of them are nuts (especially lha) but I don't see them as book banners/burners. Wingnut knows what the first amendment says, and lha has at least heard of it.

Librarians are usually leftist turd people who portray themselves as freedom fighters, when in actuality they are cowards who, well... work in libraries.
I remember the case of the local ACLU head who grandstanded about how bad it was for library computers to have smut filters. Ends up he was swapping videos of child rape/torture from the Third World and jacking to it.
I think he went to prison for about five years.

Here is it.....

Charles Rust-Tierney was the Virginia ACLU head and convicted pedofaggot.
Sentenced to 7 years in federal prison.
Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, pleaded guilty in June to downloading hundreds of pornographic images of children as young as 4. Authorities said Rust-Tierney used a computer in his 11-year-old son's bedroom to view the files, which included a six-minute video that depicted sexual torture of children, set to a song by the rock band Nine Inch Nails.....
Authorities said Rust-Tierney used his home computer to purchase Internet access to commercial child pornography Web sites at least five times between March 2005 and October 2006, spending about $420. During one two-week span, he accessed more than 850 digital image and video files of child pornography on one site. Many of these files showed children under the age of 12 being forced to engage in sexual acts with adult males, authorities said.
