My godson was over the other day, he was reading On The Road for a High School term paper. I had to read that on my own; I was allowed to write a paper on Tropic of Cancer in high school, mainly because the teacher never heard of it. Needless to say, she was shocked by my paper (however she turned out to be a perv and the more porno I put in my papers the better grades I got).

However I was indeed profoundly happy to see On the Road on a school reading list, even in college I had to beg to read Rimbaud's Season in Hell. I think this is wonderful for our educational system. After years of censorship. What are your opinions on this matter?
