Tuesday's Banned Book, or, You've Gotta' Be Kidding Me!

Q: How should you celebrate the 50th anniversary of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird
A (in Monty Python Holy Grail Witch Trial voice): BANNNNNNNN IT!

Yes, that pillar of integrity, Atticus Finch, along with his oddly-named offspring, are to be considered objectionable by some in our fair country. Actually, it's the derogatory language that some find offensive, which, I think it's safe to say, Miss Lee wanted all of us to find offensive, along with the behavior of those metaphorical mockingbird killers.
