Virginia's Spotsylvania County School Board this week 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 one of the members, Kirk
Twigg. "Just so we can identify, within our community, that we are
eradicating this bad stuff."
