THE CRUCIBLE

Because of objections to information about witchcraft and the occult, accounts of the Salem witch trials have been expurgated from some recent editions of American history texts. Arthur Miller's play about these trials has also been challenged:
"Public schools have no right to give the devil equal time with God."
"It contains sick words from the mouths of demon-possessed people. It should be wiped out of the schools or the school board should use them to fuel the fires of hell. The guy who wrote that book should not be able to be a writer."
