School in Biloxi, Mississippi is banning "To Kill A Mockingbird."
Are they trying to erase all of our past? Even books now? Where does it stop? And who decides what is acceptable and what should be removed?

Hardcore Conservative "There is some language in the book that makes people uncomfortable," school board vice president Kenny Holloway vaguely told the Sun Herald.

They're certainly not the first to ban books. Luckily, we still have free public libraries and the internet.

Yes, the book is still available. But, what does that say about the school system, and even society, where we're now banning books because someone, somewhere might not like some of the words used in the book? -

Many books have been banned from time to time, including "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," "The Grapes of Wrath," and ironically "Fahrenheit 451." http://www.bannedbooksweek.org/censorship/bannedbooksthatshapedamerica
