Not all banned, but challenged at least. All except "Huckleberry Finn"
are challenged by low-brow right wingers:
The “10 Most Challenged Books of 2006” reflect a range of themes, and
consist of the following titles:
* “And Tango Makes Three” by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell,
for homo***uality, anti-family, and unsuited to age group;
* “Gossip Girls” series by Cecily Von Ziegesar for homo***uality,
***ual content, drugs, unsuited to age group, and offensive
language;
* “Alice” series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for ***ual content and
offensive language;
* “The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things” by Carolyn
Mackler for ***ual content, anti-family, offensive language, and
unsuited to age group;
* “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison for ***ual content, offensive
language, and unsuited to age group;
* “Scary Stories” series by Alvin Schwartz for occult/Satanism,
unsuited to age group, violence, and insensitivity;
* “Athletic Shorts” by Chris Crutcher for homo***uality and
offensive language;
* “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky for
homo***uality, ***ually explicit, offensive language, and
unsuited to age group;
* “Beloved” by Toni Morrison for offensive language, ***ual content,
and unsuited to age group; and
* “The Chocolate War” by Robert Cormier for ***ual content,
offensive language, and violence.
Off the list this year, but on for several years past, are the “Catcher
in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger, “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck and
“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain.

I didn't say any flag-burners have been lynched, stupid.
Attempts to outlaw burning the flag as a form of political protest come
entirely from the foam-at-the-mouth right wing. Liberal representatives
and senators acquiesce, to their lasting shame, but they are never the
authors of these bills; only stupid, knuckle-dragging troglogdyte
Republicans.

Probably about the same.
I guess you missed this story in the L.A. Times about anti-war
protesters in a suburb of Los Angeles being heckled and spat upon by
foam-at-the-mouth knuckle-dragging troglogdyte conservatives:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-me-outthere2-2008may02,0,5921450.story
They quote a loathsome young foam-at-the-mouth knuckle-dragging
conservative punk: "They are inappreciative and unsup****tive and
ungrateful," he said. "You have no right to say anything unless you're a
veteran."
You have no right to say anything about American involvement in stupid,
illegal, based-on-lies quagmire wars unless you're a veteran? Where
does that snot-nosed little cocksucker get ideas like that? He gets
them from old, decrepit foam-at-the-mouth knuckle-dragging conservative
****bags like you. The story indicates that little punk goes to a high
school about two and a half miles from my house. I'm going to go over
and teach that little **** something about freedom of speech, and the
lesson isn't going to be subtle.
