"If that letter were gone, then so would the word and, with this, the thought."

THIS WAS WONDERFUL. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT. YOU WON'T BE SORRY.
Click on THIS LINK to go to the complete request. As I said, please read the entire thing. It is well worth it.
A tiny excerpt is below

The Lambton County Board of Education

Ratepayer's Request: Reconsideration of Textbook Selection

Author:Satan, Himself
Title:The Winston Canadian Dictionary for Schools
Publisher:Holt, Rinehart, Winston and Beelzebub of Canada, Ltd., Toronto
Request Initiated by:R. J. B. Wilson
1. Nature of the objection (be specific, cite pages):
An uncountable number of unacceptable words, of which B*st*rd (p. 45), ev*l*t**n (p. 208), excr*m*nt (p. 210), f**c*s (p. 217), p*n*s (p. 457), s*x (p. 583) and v*g*n* (p. 715) are just a few examples. These are so horrible that you will understand that I cannot write them in full. To expose young minds to such filth is surely to corrupt them for life and to damn them for eternity; Better no 'education' at all than this.

There is more . . .
