    Quoted for truth.

    But yeah, the religious factor and the self censorship are two of many problems. To be honest, the parents are a major reason why the system isn't as great as it could be. Stupid parents try to perpetuate stupid students.

    EDIT: Actually, here is the ala.org website that tabulates the most challenged books list. Here is the direct link and on the left you can click on each individual year and by the decade.
