| What the hell did Waldo do to anybody? |
I recently came across a list the top 100 most frequently challenged books of 1990-2000. A challenge is 'an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group' (ALA, 2006). Looking at the list, it is obvious why some works would be challenged by the average American prude. Literary works like 'Sex' by Madonna, and 'The Anarchist's Cookbook' make this list. But the 'Where's Waldo' series???? This article sheds some light, but the reasoning is pretty ridiculous.
And in personal news, I got some pretty exciting emails today! My thesis revisions (which I FINALLY completed) last night, were accepted, and now I can begin the process of printing the goddamn thing out 5 times! Also, I found out from the current SEND intern that the Foundation is paying my rent and accomodations. Sweeeeeet. |
