I just heard about a group trying to ban the "Oz" books from libraries...

For years this group tried to have the L. Frank Baum books banned from school and public libraries, since they do magic, and of course all magic fantasies are "Satanic" to these holier-than thou idiots.

Well, now they have another reason.
In one of the "Oz" books, a witch uses magic to hide a princess, by turning her into a boy!

The kid lives for years with the witch, as a boy.

In the book the kid is turned back into a girl, to claim her throne.

So...this holier-than-thou group wants all "Oz" books banned!



(I forgot where I saw this, and exactly what group it is.)

Worse yet, how they try to impose said make believe on the real lives of real people.

Reality scares the snot out of them, so they cling to their fantasy.

Add in crass politics and it gets far worse.
