CARTERSVILLE, Ga. -- Some Christian parents in Georgia want a bevy of books removed from their local schools' reading list.
Three parents with the group Crusaders for Christ told members of the Bartow County Board of Education that several books are too offensive for students to be reading.
The group's leader, the Rev. Dwight Holcomb, told board members, "You're going to answer to God Almighty for your decision."
Among the books the Crusaders for Christ want banned are "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury and "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.

Ah, keeping stupidity alive! I guess that's what one would expect from such an unfortunately named group.
