Well,I too am Christian, C of E. It is generally only a small fraction of Believers who like to stick their noses into others' business, just as it is with other fundamentalist sects of any religion. I just hope that those who like to burn books will audition for roles in the rumoured remake of 'Fahrenheit 451.' I used to like to get in the faces of intolerant people, but now I definitely choose my battles more wisely. That usually means standing with people I care about. I don't know what is happening in school libraries these days, but when I was in high school, there were whole lists of books that had been removed, or required special dispensation to get. It is a continuing battle, I guess, a battle between Light and Darkness.
