Sorry, that part wasn't directed specifically at you. There were several other posts that suggested there was absolutely nothing to see here. They were well within their rights so everyone should just move along.
I do agree with you that if religion did not honestly play a part in the book's removal, then religion need not be discussed—and in fact may be confusing the issue. Unfortunately, in order to accept the fact that religion only kick-started the process and wasn't used as review criteria, I have to take the word of people I don't know. And frankly, I just don't trust
anyone who determined that Slaughterhouse Five wasn't age appropriate reading material for 13-17 year-olds—based on content alone. Period.
