A group in Milwaukee is suing a library for the right to burn a book by Francesca Lia Block because it's “explicitly vulgar, racial, and anti-Christian.” (I think that "racial" is supposed to be "racist.")

“the plaintiffs, all of whom are elderly, claim their mental and emotional well-being was damaged by this book at the library,” specifically because Baby Be-Bop contains the “n” word and derogatory sexual and political epithets that can incite violence and “put one’s life in possible jeopardy, adults and children alike.”

The four plaintiffs are also suing for $30,000 each for the mental damages of "being exposed" to the book.
