They Can't Have Their Book Back
Book Policewoman Jackie Taylor [Mother of Cedar Grove Elementary School student] is unhappy with a book her 3rd grader brought home from the school library. "I understand that it is a book of poetry, but there is a fine line between poetry art and porn and this book's illustrations are absolutely offensive in every way," Taylor said. The book is I Saw Esau - a Schoolchild's Pocket Book. Taylor said she's not "giving them this book back, so it can disappear." [source]

Wow. Just looks like classic fairytale material to me. That stuff gets pretty intense, what with children being cooked by witches and the like - but its archetypal and ancient. Somehow putting the same themes into a more modern book seems to cause a stir. How odd.
