The Missouri Congress wants to jail librarians if they let minors check out books like Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. A friend of mine said Slaughterhouse-Five was required reading when she was in high school. Now, a librarian can be arrested for letting a high school student read the book. What will we have next? Book burnings in the street?
