"We'd have won this by now if it weren't for our allies." I have never seen a better argument for restriction of some books than you saying "If kids are old enough to be reading something, they should be able to make judgements on how much of the message to believe or disbelieve." Just conflating "challanged" with "banned" so badly makes free speech advocates look bad.* Ugh and "become adults and suddenly have access to all sorts of information."? This is what is called a strawman. And it isn't a very good one.*It makes them look quite a bit like the christian coalition style ranters who claim that the bible is banned because they couldn't get through a history curriculum using genesis as a text, or other specious 'bans'.
