In fact, back in high school (a few years ago :-)), I did original oratory in speech and debate about banned books. Same as it ever was, I guess.

People are always surprised about some of the titles that have been banned.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.com
