Kemper now:
I agree.

Nat Hentoff (who once worked for the ultra-patriotic American Civil
Liberties Union) wrote a book called 'Free Speech for Me — But Not for
Thee: How the American Left and Right Relentlessly Censor Each Other'.
 If some uber-Lefty is telling me the Left attempts to censor the
right, I'm gonna believe it.

But I have to wonder how it compares between how many Lefties fight to
censor versus how many Righties fight to censor.  Especially based on
the the ALA's (American Library Association) top 10 list of most
challenged.

The fundamental right is not the same as Conservatives.  But Idiocy is
definitely not confined to the fundamental right but perhaps it is
more considerable.

But to get this back to HP...

Who would Dumbledore ban? (Horcruxes, anyone?)
Who would Harry ban?  (Maybe T. Riddle.  But then what's next?  A. Frank?)
Who would Hermione ban? (Maybe... anything Severus Snape wrote under
the pseudonym of the Half Blood Prince.  But what about Samuel Clemens
and his sobriquet?)
