People who want to ban books are beneath my contempt. If my child read this and came to me asking what a scrotum was, I would not be upset or ashamed; you just explain it. It is not like the book contains depictions of graphic sex acts or something like that. It's a dog biting a boy in the ballbag. Not a huge deal here.
Quote:
Ms. Nilsson, reached at Sunnyside Elementary School in Durango, Colo., said she had heard from dozens of librarians who agreed with her stance. “I don’t want to start an issue about censorship,” she said. “But you won’t find men’s genitalia in quality literature.”
“At least not for children,” she added.

A repressed, shrewish librarian? Way to swim against the stereotype there, Ms Nilsson.
