You have to go to Alabama to travel this far back in time. Rep. Gerald Allen, an upstanding citizen and a Republican, has filed a bill in the state legislature that would prohibit public and university libraries who accept state funds from "purchas[ing] textbooks or library materials that recognize or promote homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle." The reason, of course, is protect innocent little kids (and college students) from the pervasive "homosexual agenda." Giving voice without realizing it to the true motivation for this proposed Nazi-like book burning, Allen said, "Our culture . . . is under attack from every angle." If the law passes, public school textbooks won't be able to present homosexuality as a genetic trait.
