I never thought I’d be on a banned book list.
I remember reading Fahrenheit 451 back in high school in SE Texas. I remember being incredulous that literature and Great Works were being burned, and that a select few were governing the thoughts of the many.
Now I am wondering if I should be worried about my own books being slated for a burning, Texas legislator's list circulates with my name on it. Further, should I be worried about my personal safety?
For people to latch on and use the titles as rallying cries is worrying. Still, the path of change is the one I've chosen. He who has ears, let them hear.
Here's Brian Lopez' Texas Tribune article. There's a link to the list in the story as well.
