Alton Verm, of Conroe, objects to the language and content in the book. His 15-year-old daughter Diana, a CCHS sophomore, came to him Sept. 21 with her reservations about reading the book because of its language. "The book had a bunch of very bad language in it," Diana Verm said. "It shouldn’t be in there because it's offending people. ... If they can't find a book that uses clean words, they shouldn’t have a book at all."

1. These people are unbelievable.

"It's just all kinds of filth," said Alton Verm, adding that he had not read 'Fahrenheit 451.'

Now, see, some people might think it's unfair of Mr. Verm to criticize a book he's never read, but I won't go there. I mean, I've never met Mr. Verm and already I don't like him.

Misty makes the pertinent point:


Was his daughter forced into reading F451? No, of course not. She was offered an alternative book to read. Does that satisfy these people? No, of course not. They want a book they have never read banned from the schools because it is against their religious beliefs so that everyone must be punished for their blatant, offensively high stupidity.

2. The dumbass probably thought it was Fahrenheit 911 (n/t)

3. I bet you are right!

We had a nut run in to our school screaming that they were passing out condoms at the school cafeteria. There was a sign that said "Please request condiments here" They are always looking for something to start crap about. The trouble is they are not very bright.
