Book burning! Wait, what...?
Milwaukee-area citizen Robert C. Braun of the Christian Civil Liberties Union (CCLU) distributed at the meeting copies of a claim for damages he and three other plaintiffs filed April 28 with the city; the complainants seek the right to publicly burn or destroy by another means the library’s copy of Baby Be-Bop. The claim also demands $120,000 in compensatory damages ($30,000 per plaintiff) for being exposed to the book in a library display, and the resignation of West Bend Mayor Kristine Deiss for “allow[ing] this book to be viewed by the public.”
That's from here.
Also, here's some video.
The guy might be hard to follow. I think what he's advocating may be...people who are suffering from a terminal illness, and likely to die soon...should go into the library, steal books they find offensive, and destroy them.
...and they're suing for the right to burn a book. A book from the library.
I hate people.
