Tennessee pastor leads burning of Harry Potter and Twilight novels

Doesn't surprise me at all. This isnt uncommon really. Holding book burning rallies burning books on science like evolution, anything that says thd Earth is older than 6k years, etc.

Yeah because Tennessee is emblematic of America to the same extent that Germany is of Germany.

Some sort of boiler plate: This is only with regard to the series of 5-year plans suggested in OP.

This has been going on for centuries. As long as it's not state mandated, as in government backed we will be fine.

There was a Bible burning years ago from Bible thumpers believe it or not.
