Even To Kill a Mockingbird Censored by Moonbats

Censorship is so inherent to the moonbat mentality that, like a mad dog biting its own flanks, political correctness is censoring itself.
What book could be more P.C. than To Kill a Mockingbird, the tear-jerking tale of racial heroism that reportedly has been ranked second only to the Bible in terms of social impact? Yet to make her point, author Harper Lee had to use the "N-word," now considered by liberals to be a blasphemy more horrific than the darkest passage in the Necronomicon.
Okaloosa County, Florida educrats ruled that the unspeakable word be censored from a production of Mockingbird at Fort Walton Beach High School, in accordance with local black militants' demands. But there are problems:
Altering the text without permission also is copyright infringement, said David Faux, director of business affairs for the Dramatists Guild, a professional organization for playwrights, composers and lyricists.
"There can be rather large statutory damages," he said.
Not to mention that the censorship ruins the story.
When a similar case came up in Columbus, Indiana, the school ended up canceling the play — thus preventing a story highly sympathetic to the liberal point of view from being told. Talk about biting your own tongue.

Why don't we just ban the book, lest someone read the forbidden word? |
On a tip from David.
