A Gargoyle Leader columnist rights a fantastic editorial about the SF school district censoring “Stuck in the middle.”
Another was “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, and then all of her books. At the end of “The Outsiders,” Ponyboy is reading “The Carpetbaggers,” by Harold Robbins, which someone says is too old for him.
“The Outsiders” is one of my favorite books, I named my dog after the character ‘Sodapop’. I love the book because it reminds you that you can never change where you come from, and you should be proud of it and never run from who you are, at least that is what I got from it. Of course there is all kinds of social class judgements, etc. and other themes, but any movie that has Tom Waits, Tom Cruise, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillion and one of the Sheen brothers has to be good? Right.
But back to the main point. Censorship is stupid.
