"Animal Farm" - Banned Books Week!


George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm is another critically acclaimed book that has been banned at some time or another since its printing in 1945.  Many have found it to be a satire on communism thinly disguised as an animal story.

It was banned in Wisconsin in 1963 because the John Birch Society (who?) objecxted to the phrase "masses will revolt."  In 1987, it was banned from several schools in Bay County in Panama City, Florida.  Alcoholic beverages and "indecent images" are more reasons why Animal Farm has been banned.
