On one hand I think it should be banned, on the other, I don't think it should. How can we learn from mistakes in the past if the proofs of those mistakes are banned? But I don't think children should be allowed to read such books as "Mein Kampf" without parental supervision.
But, if I read that wikipage dreams posted, most banned books are banned because they apparently tell some truth a government doesn't want to hear (or want its populace to hear). A book that really tries to set up people against each other is different, naturally...
