And Don't Get Her Started on Watership Down

Taffey Anderson, a mother in Halsey, Oregon, was shocked--shocked, I tell you--when her 13-year-old son came home from his high school library with a copy of The Book of Bunny Suicides. So disturbed was she that she's refusing to return the book, lest another impressionable mind be warped by its cartoons depicting rabbits on the verge of self-destruction.

The school authorities have begun an investigation, but Mom has spoken: "Anderson plans to fill out the forms, but she's not taking any chances. Once the review is over, regardless of the outcome, she plans to burn it. 'They're not getting this book back,' she said."
