Vonnegut Library To Give Away Free Copies Of Banned Book To Missouri Students. Awesome.

Remember a couple of days ago when I posted that a douche professor in Missouri managed to get Slaughterhouse-Five banned? Well the Kurt Vonnegut memorial library is willing to give away copies of the books. This is awesome.

Washington Post:

“It is shocking and unfortunate that those young adults and citizens would not be considered mature enough to handle the important topics raised by Kurt Vonnegut,” said Vonnegut library Executive Director Julia Whitehead in a statement. “Everyone can learn something from his book.”

The Vonnegut library’s Web site requested students from Republic High School to write in for the book if they’d like one. “We’re not telling you to like the book … we just want you to read it and decide for yourself,” the site reads.

This is fucking awesome.
