Banning books/removing them from libraries reveals a belief that reading this literature will shape how we think. I hope they are correct. What is it they do not want the public to know?

Hmm I predict there is more to this than meets the eye. Let’s see the details on how this will be implemented. My guess? There is no room at the inn; RCC’s are at capacity and this is the only mechanism available to comply with the FSA without spending more BOP $$ ASC Division on Corrections and Sentencing
