    Actually they confused it with the late Billy Martin, baseball manager. Though he was always only seeing red; not being it.

    As someone who was born and raised in Texas, I gain no pride in knowing how my beloved state has struggled to maintain a lead in book banning and related acts of stupidity.

    Are you nuts? It’s obviously a tract intended to indoctrinate children into communism. The bear is the symbol of Russia, and on the very next page is a red bird – RED, people! The yellow duck is obviously meant to represent Communist China, while the white dog teaches kids to equate white people with dogs… thank goodness for the heroes of the Texas Board of Education for protecting kids from this filth!

    You’re all wrong. Someone in Texas found out that large, hairy gay men are sometimes called “bears”, and their gigantic knee-jerk kicked the book right off the charts.

    Just because Texas is so big, they get to dictate school books for the rest of the country. I miss the old Lucky Strike Hit Parade (not really), I watch too much TV anyway.

    I agree with John Milton in his “Areopagitica” that NO writings should be banned.

    Terrible. I remember getting in trouble for writing my name in the snow.

    Banned book night at the library tonight. Local celebrities reading from their favorite banned book.

    In the 60s, the FCC created a list of songs stations were not to play because of drug or sex content. Our only FM Rock station played them all to let the listeners decide. We were soon missing that station.

    Nyone familiar with the list of “no radio play” songs after the World Trade Centers were demolished? “Imagine” was on it Silly that we would accept such nonsense at all but John Lennon’s “Imagine”? I am not going to argue that people have a right and reason to be upset but to ban a song of peace seems a little odd.

    “Imagine there’s no heaven It’s easy if you try No Hell below us Only earth and sky.”

    THAT’S what gets John in trouble every time. Made the song a target from the get-go and makes it the one many want to end for ANY reason. Especially when he suggests it’s the better alternative.

    I always figure if someone wants to ban a song or book like that while they’re in power they can expect their stuff banned when the other extreme arrives.

    Like the Bible banned in China or Russia for years

    I guess somebody will ban Eric Carle’s “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” because it advocates obesity.

    Do you ever wonder if you’re just preaching a sermon on church attendance to the choir?

    Setebos, I understand the feeling. My ancestors came to Texas with Austin. I used to be proud to be descending from such a tough, enduring people. After Shrub became governor, after the wonderful Ann Richards, I still shrugged and pointed out he was raised in the Northeast, what could you expect? But nowadays I say nothing out of embarrassment for what Texans have become.
