BANNING THE BOOK FAHRENHEIT 451 These kinds of idiots should be ignored (except for me taunting them, I'm such a hypocrite) If they cannot see how ridiculous it is to try to ban Fahrenheit 451, a book about banning books, then what has our public education system come to? Why should we have to pay them any attention beyond a written complaint kept on file to make them feel better. The real irony for this Bible Thumper is that Ray Bradbury makes a case in his fictional book for even preserving The Bible. And as far as the language? Ray Bradbury is a pussycat compared to what's out there now and what is being spoken by the students. Sometimes in order to recognize evil you have to realize it is not going to be sanitized.
