Someone asked Jeff Smith what he thought about the woman who is trying to pull Bone from Minneapolis/St. Paul school libraries. I find his response to be intensely gratifying:

"It just broke yesterday; I don't know anymore about it than you do," Smith said on Saturday, responding to a question from the audience. "She objected to the gambling, smoking and drinking and the sexiness. I feel sorry for her son. He's going to be really embarrassed, but you know, not everybody has to like my stuff. That's fine. But I really can't go along with this un-American concept of banning books. Let the Nazis do that."

Say what you will about Godwin's Law, but I think associating book-banners with Nazis, and calling them un-American loudly and repeatedly, is the way to win.
