Charlotte Observer editorial page editor Ed Williams “asked readers on the right to suggest books they’d like to see on the summer reading list.” He published their list today along with select comments.
I question the need to publish some of those comments, especially those by one John Grooms, who, though not a conservative himself, suggests for the conservatives Mein Kampf, since their beliefs are full of — all together, now! — “racism, sexism, anti-Semitism and homophobia.”
I provided my own list back in 2002. If you think this year’s controversy is bad, can you imagine what would happen if they took my suggestion to assign Gianna: Aborted … and Lived to Tell About it, by Jessica Shaver? Have mercy!
