I think it’s his outfit. Surely that will lead the youth of today to do stuff like, oh, wear clothes.

Maybe because the challengers couldn’t find him? Or maybe they didn’t want their kids wasting time “reading” a book without words.

What amazes me is that Phillip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” trilogy isn’t on the list (not that I want it there!). With all the brouhaha over Harry Potter, no one seems to have noticed that Pullman lambastes organized religion, turns the biblical creation story inside out, has gay angels, and posits God as a doddering old sham. I guess he confounded the book-banners with all them big words and fancy language.
