Occult book ban demanded

A group of parents is asking that books about the occult be pulled from the school libraries in Washington Township, NJ. Their son checked out two books on the devil from the school library and also accessed devil-related websites on school computers.

Usually I don't see the humor in censorship, but a couple of things in this article struck me as funny. The fact that the boy was trying to tattoo DAMIEN on the back of his neck but only got as far as DA because it hurt too much. And most of all that one of the books being challenged is an Opposing Viewpoints book! Um, wouldn't that mean that it had both opinions on Satanism in it?
