A school committee has denounced some books again—out in Levittown this time. One of the books was mine. I hear about un‐American nonsense like this twice a year or so. One time out in North Dakota, the books were actually burned in a furnace. I had to laugh. It was such an ignorant, dumb, superstitious thing to do.

It was so cowardly, too—to make a great show of attacking artifacts. It was like St. George attacking bedspreads and cuckoo clocks.

Yes, and St. Georges like that seem to get elected or appointed to school committees all the time. They are actually proud of their illiteracy. They imagine that they are somehow celebrating the Bicentennial when they boast, as some did in Levittown, that they hadn’t actually read the books they banned. Such lunks are often the backbone of volunteer fire departments and the United States Infantry and cake sales and so on, and they have been thanked often enough for that. But they have no business supervising the educations of children in a free society. They are just too bloody stupid.

–Kurt Vonnegut in “Banned Authors Answer Back,” The New York Times, March 28, 1976.
