Students Fired Up over Book Burning
US: High school students in Norwood, Colorado, staged an all-day sit-in to protest the removal of Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima from a ninth grade English classroom. Bob Conder, superintendent of schools, confiscated two dozen copies of the novel and threw them in trash cans. He later allowed a group of parents who complained about profanity in the novel to retrieve the books and burn them. Conder apologized for destroying the books, admitting he had never read the novel.

It seems the NAZI spirit is alive and well in American public schools.
