Woo! Way to go, Bedford, New Hampshire!

The above? Total sarcasm.

A couple of months after complaining about the use of Nickel and Dimed in the Bedford High School curriculum (which was subsequently pulled), parents Dennis and Aimee Taylor have complained about the school's use of Water for Elephants.

They weren't alone in their opinion.

From the Union Leader:

"If I was to bring a little snack for you and I put something inappropriate in the snack -- maybe it's a little poison or something else -- it destroys the entire food," said Cindy Morin, a Bedford resident. "You don't just say something is good because there's 330 good pages and five bad pages."

Heck, YEAH! That's EXACTLY how we should look at literature! Every book that has something that someone thinks is "bad"? SHOULD GET THROWN OUT! Also, topics that make us uncomfortable? ARE POISONOUS!

I suspect she may not have thought that analogy through. Or, heck. Maybe she did, and my sarcasm is her truth. Who knows?
