You asked. I answered. You pouted. I gave up.
You just can't give it up can you?
And I thank you for your clarification. It wasn't clear to me whether you thought my interest might be because of the religious source of the quote, or the implied attempt at censorship, or my participation in the
Lolita thread. Or something that didn't cross my mind, the content coverage of the Guardian.
On the latter point I am glad to see that the Guardian covers international news broader than just quirky events in the United States like the pronouncements from the American Library Association that fuel this thread on an annual basis. I'm not sure the NY Times gives those press releases much notice -- but then again it has been a while since I have read the paper through to the bitter end of every column on every page.
But proceding on, sorry for my grouchy tone. I have already been defamed once on BAR for my participation in the
Lolita discussion, so I'm a little tender on the topic.
That the Russian churchman complains about
Lolita re pedophilia is not surprising. Complaints of that sort have arisen in the US long ago. One medical doctor, in fact, concluded from examination of information in public print that Vladimir Nabokov was a "closet pedophile." You can find his article mentioned in the BAR
Lolita thread, where I believe he himself posted it.
And a US action organization for prevention, protection and support of molested children long ago cited
Lolita as a nefarious book. [I forget the exact adjective they used]
As for "teaching" pedophilia, the churchman should read the book, or adjust his bifocals -- a prescription for many who criticize the book.
Re the censorship issue -- the topic of this thread -- I suppose he can try, maybe just like anyone else in the Russian republic. Never been there, don't know whether such an attempt is newsworthy there or likely to succeed. Here in the US I regard it as a dead issue and one not worth getting worked up over at the governmental level. At the individual school board level, my attitude is to let them fight it out, church people or no church people.
AIE: Pardon, I see that justifying might be the word reather than teaching. Either way my comment stands.

You guys. Peder, in the future if you don't want an answer to a query then don't ask and this kind of thing will be averted. Beer good, do a better job of reading Peder's mind.
: drama explosion there earlier this year plus bfc always has stuff going on), and if that is the case, apologies.
However, it doesn't mean that you have to pull the science textbook or anything by Stephen Hawking or Carl Sagan because the local minister's wife is upset about what those books contain. Pico would prevent you from doing that and that case would flash in front of your mind if you were an administrator who had a clue.
