As a perfect finale to the American Library Association's Banned Books Week, we have this story from New Ulm, Minnesota: a New Ulm Actors Community Theater production of the 1955 play Inherit the Wind had to be cancelled after fundamentalist Lutherans made life miserable for the play's director and several actors.

Hilarity ensues.

Mustn't offend any flat earther sensibilities.
There&#039;s <i>time</i>, too. Albeit one closer to the 19th century than the 21st.

They should do &quot;Elmer Gantry&quot; instead.
Ontario, also, too.
They didn&#039;t nail the audition poster to the church door, did they?
Thinking is for liberals.
Devolution is not just a theory.
