Plot Summary: A group of English school boys is stranded on a deserted island. This tale tells of their survival, as they revert to man's basest level.
Complaints: Violence, offensive language, racist
The Toronto School Board banned this classic from all its schools, claiming it was racist for use of the word "niggers." A challenger in Owen, Nebraska claimed that this book was "demoralizing inasmuch that it implies that man is little more than an animal."
Solonor Says Ban It Because: I am not an animal! This will just encourage these little snots to break up into factions and start plotting against each other. Then, they'll kill each other off and...hey...wait a minute...this might not be so bad after all. New Reality Show: Lord of the Flies Island!
