When one book is considered worthy of burning (or in this case removed), they all will be eventually.

"You must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can't have our minorities upset and stirred. Ask yourself, What do we want in this country above all? People want to be happy, isn't that right?

Colored people don't like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don't feel good about Uncle Tom's Cabin. Burn it. Someone's written a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The cigarette people are weeping? Burn the book. Serenity, Montag. Peace, Montag. Take your fight outside. Better yet, to the incinerator."

-- Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

No matter what is has been or will be written, or said... someone somewhere will inevitably be offended by it.

They only want their leftist pornographic propaganda available.
