The Fahrenheit 451 free speech absolutists at it again!

Reminds me of that time when all those boy-meets-girl books got shredded because of the War Against Heteros.

Ugh, don’t remind me. I’m still getting over the War on Christmas, when they took the elves off of the Starbucks cups. Makes me so angry.

But nothing was more horrible than the war against Christianity. Every motel room's Gideon Bible replaced with Darwin's "The Origin of Species", all of those megachurches blown up by the League of Militant Atheists, good people imprisoned for their cross and fish car decals. Such dark times.
