A frenzy of book burning

Virginia's Spotsylvania County School Board recently voted unanimously to have books with "sexually explicit" material removed from school library shelves. For two members of the school board, this didn't go far enough; they wanted to see the books incinerated. "I'm sure we've got hundreds of people out there that would like to see those books before we burn them," said Kirk Twigg, one of the members. "Just so we can identify, within our community, that we are eradicating this bad stuff."
