sing out loud...sing out strong...

"Susan Patron's book, The Power of Lucky, is this year's Newberry Award winner, the highest honor given to children's literature. But librarians are banning it because of a passage where the main character overhears an adult talking about where a rattlesnake bit his dog. 'Scrotum sounded to Lucky like something green that comes up when you have the flu and cough too much,' reads the book."

Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Go on, say it out loud. She's totally right.


Being a kid is hard enough without adults trying to keep you as stupid as they are
