Breaking News: Administration Announces New Urgent Book Bans

Andover has decided to step into its role as one of the top schools in the United States and join the rest of the country in what seems to be a race to ban the most books. The administration has contacted writers on The Phillipian to spread the word and warn students that the consequences for possessing this contraband will be “definitely worse than a GAP,” says Dr. Raynard Kington. 

The following books have been listed as banned:

  1. “Lord of the Flies”: Don’t want to give the boys in Rockwell any ideas.
  2. Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”: Hetero-normative.
  3. No One is Too Small to Make a Difference” by Greta Thunberg: Unnecessary ego boost to the PASC; promotes ideas harmful to schools foundation and endowment.
  4. The Bible: Doesn’t mention Ray K, could discourage student’s faith in him as supreme leader
  5. “The Catcher in the Rye”: Main character is too similar to the average Andover student
  6. “Animal Farm”: Compares our comrades to animals.

All bans will be enacted immediately.
