Anti-KKK Book Banned by Thought Police

Just how far does the Left want to take the brand of totalitarian thought control euphemistically called "political correctness"? A story from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis offers a clue:

Keith Sampson, a janitor and part-time student at IUPUI brought the book Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan by Todd Tucker to work. Black coworkers disapproved; apparently they couldn't be bothered to read the whole title, but saw the words Ku Klux Klan and wanted it banned. The school's Affirmative Action Office shared their point of view.

Sampson received a menacing letter from the Thought Police [PDF], chastising him for showing "extremely poor judgment" and reminding him that if he is ever caught reading the book in the presence of his coworkers, he could be subject to "serious disciplinary action."

How long before Tucker's book is removed from libraries because blacks decide it's "offensive"? What will be the next topic we are forbidden from even reading about?
