Letters of Note: I am very real.
An English teacher at Drake High School, North Dakota used Kurt Vonnegut’s book Slaughterhouse-5 as a part of his curriculum. The head of the school board responded within the next month by having all copies of the book on the school property burned because of its “obscene language”. Books of other authors soon met the same fate.
Kurt mailed a single letter to these furnace wielders as a response.
