I'm ashamed this is happening in Michigan.

Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse expects to decide by next week whether three challenged books used in Howell High School classrooms meet the legal definition of obscenity.

What are the three books? Erin Gruwell's "Freedom Writers Diary," Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye," and Richard Wright's "Black Boy." Yes, all three books are about people of color. Yes, two out of three are written by people of color. The group leading this racist crusade is called LOVE (Livingston Organization for Values in Education). Love, indeed.

The U.S. Attorney General's Office and the FBI are also "reviewing the claim," which raises the issue of what members of LOVE generally think of big government intervention in small-town life. I suspect that, when it comes to most issues, they disdain the notion that the federal government would be involved. Now that their own twisted political agenda is being advanced, all of a sudden the tune changes.

This is inexcusable.
