This just really steams me!!!

I am an opponent to banned books just on principle alone.  I read this with an attempt in objectivity and failed.  I cannot rationalize how a person in an academic profession could possibly recommend restricting access to information-especially in a book that has been around since 1968-in this day and age.  Academic professionals should be proud supporters of unbiased and unlimited at access to information for all individuals that see it fitting for their purposes.  Its just preposterous!!!  What's next universe?
