  That's a beautiful letter. I found a bit more information about the event here: http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/content.detail/id/519549.html?nav=5576 http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/content.detail/id/519549.... What the English teacher said about the matter can be read there and it is also a nice sentiment. It seems in the end the school allowed the books to be read and the teacher (whom I believe was forced to resign) was given $5000 as a settlement. I always find it very peculiar how people can be so offended by curse words and at the same time have such an under-developed sense of morality with regards to things like censorship or war.
