According to Velshi's idiotic logic, movies deemed "rated R" are "banned" as well because the content is UNSUITIABLE FOR CHILDREN and not shown in school libraries. Totally moronic logic.

They're not shown in schools because, now get this, BECAUSE they're unfit for children. Any teacher or librarian showing Rated R movies to children at the school library would be fired. And rightfully so. Movies that are Rated R are like the books that aren't allowed in K-6 or K-12 Libraries. Not "banned". Simply unsuitable for younger viewing audiences. Intelligent, level headed adults see right through Velshi's fear mongering and semantics.
