Re: Parents' ideas aren't always preferable
Farenheit 451 is about NOT burning books.
The problem for Alton Verm and his ilk is that they are NOT against burning books, just against burning the bible -- he doesn't see the similarity of burning all but one book and burning all books.
I don't think parents have a duty or even a right to shape their children's outlook.
I think they do, as long as it is not a shaping that is based on ignorance, irrationality and poor logic.
Unfortunately that leaves out all americans that voted for schwubbia in 2004.
Enjoy.
