And it is someone's opinion. We don't know the motivation of the parent buying the book for her child. You miss the entire point, and that the kid reading this material won't automatically turn him into some kind of psycho bent on destruction. With that being said, I do not condone at all censorship of this book or of any other. BTW, as I stated before, I live down here in S. Mississippi and I've seen plenty of hatred and racism to last me a lifetime. Which, as I said, is why I find this unsettling. The parent who bought the book for her son, may have had good intentions. Then again she may not know her child very well.
