I doubt that there's ever been a time in human history where human beings wrote more than they do now. There's always someone around to turn up their nose and pretend that their own myth of a golden age is something other than a myth - but it's deliciously ironic when a person who loves culture looks around them in this time, when more culture is being produced and turned into art of all kinds, and says, meh.
Dying of thirst in the middle of a lake. Must suck. I'd say go read a book, but, you know...they're all trash now. That's not the contention of the school board in question, obviously. They think that there are so many good books to choose from that there might be..gasp, shock, horror, a better book. One that influences young minds even more successfully, and even more productively.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
