Do you want grammar school libraries to stock The Turner
Diaries, or other racist literature?  I sure don't.

Why do I suspect that the Utah Education Dept would have no trouble
with /The Turner Diaries/. Or /The Protocols of the Elders of Zion/,
for that matter?

Could it be because they are ... Republicans?

And there's the factor of "them that pays the money
makes the rules about what they'll spend it on."

"He who pays the piper calls the tune"

However, in most States, it is the /taxpayers/ that pay, not the
Education Dept.
