Another Day, Another Cartoon Related Controversary On A High School Campus

Honestly, comics controversies on high school campuses are a lot rarer, but they share with their college brethren attention from local media. I think what's scary about this one is that it doesn't seem to me the least bit controversial unless you take the dimmest reading possible, and that the offended faculty members seem to be willfully making their decisions based on that level of reading instead of an even more slightly enlightened one. A lot of students with whom I went to high school -- including two of our newspaper's stick-figure cartoonists -- would still be in detention if this kind of thinking were being used back then and back there, and I grew up in the heart of the heartland.
