Having just read "What's the Matter with Kansas?" I find this quite amusing, and sad:

School boards try to use "Harrison Bergeron" to justify depriving poor kids; Vonnegut lays smackdown

Vonnegut told the Journal-World that the students' attorneys may have misinterpreted his story.

"It's about intelligence and talent, and wealth is not a demonstration of either one"

Damn I love that man.

Good for Vonnegut! and What's the Matter with Kansas? is a great book.

I really enjoyed it! Especially the "Antipopes Among Us" chapter, which I didn't think was necessarily connected very well, but I did enjoy it.
