Whatever Happened
to Clarence Eustace Scrubb?
He
liked books if they were books of information and had pictures of grain
elevators
or
of fat foreign children doing exercises in model schools.
-C. S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
He was so good at banning ideas that later
They made him a Texas school administrator
Keller ISD to remove challenged books | The Texas
Tribune
(You will of course remember that in Mr. Lewis' wonderful book Scrubb became a fine young man at the end. There is also hope for book banners, book banners, and censorious old biddies of both sexes - may their eyes open soon to the joys of 10,000 years of literature!)
