'Welcome to the modern equivalent of a book burning. The principal of
Booker T Washington High in Pensacola Florida has apparently cancelled
the school's "One School/One Book" summer reading program all in an
effort to block students from reading Cory Doctorow's (absolutely
fantastic) book Little Brother. It appears he may be against the fact
that one of the messages of the book is the importance of "questioning
authority," and has decided to show the school what true, obnoxious
authoritarianism looks like.'
