Thousands of books considered politically incorrect for Native American, including Asterix and Tintin comics, they've been burnt to ashes in the schools of Ontario.

In case you wonder what temperature a book burns, it's 233 Celsius degrees, or 451 Fahrenheit. I guess it's an useful info nowadays.

Somewhere Hitler is smiling.

And yes I know paper burns at 451 degrees Fahrenheit. Ray Bradbury wrote the novel Fahrenheit 451 about firemen in
a dystopian future who burn books, instead of putting out fires.

That's truly sad. The rest of the world would've happily taken them. Heck, I wouldn't mind some free Tintin comics.
