One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

 1974: Five residents of Strongsville, Ohio, sued the local Board of
Education to remove the novel from classrooms. They deemed the book
"pornographic" and said it "glorifies criminal activity, has a
tendency to corrupt juveniles, and contains descriptions of
bestiality, bizarre violence, and torture, dismemberment, death, and
human elimination".

I've often wonder what possesses these holier than thou persons to seek out and read the books they find offensive. To me its all a lame excuse to start shit
