Political Factoid

Republicans in red states
are working to ban lots
of books from public
schools and libraries,
including these examples:
  • To Kill a Mockingbird
  • 1984
  • The Catcher in the Rye*
  • Roots: The Saga of an
    American Family**
  
 
* Joseph Heller's satirical novel which
is set during World War II,
** in which author Alex Haley tells the
story of Kunta Kinte, an African teen
sold into slavery in the U.S., and his
descendants.
