    Rem_inds me of the line from Indiana Jones and the last crusade:

    Why did you find back for ze book Dr Jones? Slap! What is in ze book, Dr Jones? Slap!! What does it tell you zat it doesn’t tell us?? (Catches hand) It tells me that goose-stepping morons such as yourself should try READING books instead of burning them!

    To be fair to the schools, btw, they acknowledge that this isn’t really a good system. They’re not excited to ban books, they’re trying to cover their asses legally from a vague, predatory law designed to force librarians to self censor anything that might possibly risk popping a fundy’s fabricated bubble.
