Earlier today, I posted a “Roundup” item from a reader who had emailed me over the weekend. She said she had changed her mind about the recent “banned book” display at the Staples High School library, having recently learned that the book jackets were covered.
Several readers pointed me to a Westport Journal story that includes a photo of the banned book display at the Staples High School library. The book covers are exhibited, and students could have browsed the contents.
Similar displays have been part of the library’s National Banned Book Week for about 15 years.
I have deleted the “Roundup” story, and removed 4 comments pertaining to it.
I apologize for posting the reader’s erroneous story.
Maybe she was confused. The Banned Book exhibit at the Westport Library has the books wrapped in brown paper.
Why are they wrapped in brown paper? That is because they are hypocrites.
Will where did you get that information I would like the source
From my reading, the Bible has some pretty racy stuff included…shall we ban that as well…or maybe just keep it in a plain brown wrapper.
