Some people ban books with offensive piglets in them, some people ban everything deemed to be of danger to their regime, and some people demand to ban a book they just don't grok. Due, you see, to their limited reading comprehension. Now it's a book about the danger of banning books to boot. And one of the greatest books written on the American continent.
I have a positive and constructive proposal to make for US school system - let's call it "reverse ban". In practice it means excusing students with IQ lower than a necessary threshold value from reading books they are unable to understand. Should work like a dream.
Not sure Ray Bradbury would approve this idea, though, but he will be definitely unhappy with the only alternative: timely castration of the kid's dad.
P.S. It is, in fact, an old story - from 2006 that somehow came up in this week's buzz. Anyway, it's a pity to waste a good rant...
