You're Not Allowed to Read That Text!

The Ideas section for this week's Inbox ties to several censorship stories in the news. A little quote from the intro to the section:

Censorship is in the news this week -- from the accusation of "absolute vile and gratuitous sexual premises" in the books targeted in the Fayetteville, Arkansas, high school library to a profane word in the title of a poem in a Seattle, Washington, high school literary magazine. In situations like these, the true issue is the power of language and the control over who is allowed to use it.
