   Virginia's Spotsylvania County School Board this week voted   
   unanimously to have books with "sexually explicit" material removed   
   from school library shelves. For two members of the school board, this   
   didn't go far enough; they wanted to see the books incinerated. "I'm   
   sure we've got hundreds of people out there that would like to see   
   those books before we burn them," said one of the members, Kirk   
   Twigg. "Just so we can identify, within our community, that we are   
   eradicating this bad stuff."
