WTH: The other presenting a concept of time via strange aliens, Tralfamadorians from Tralfamador, who have a simple response to any reference to death. "So it goes." Why?

Moms for Liberty -- whose Florida co-founder is evidently okay with threesome sex -- termed one passage of Slaughterhouse-Five "inflammatory religious commentary" that mocked the New Testament in a satirical manner. If that was their sole objection, I have to doubt that they actually read the entire book. So it goes.
The Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library donated over 1,000 free copies of Slaughterhouse-Five to students and teachers in Florida when the book was first challenged.
I have not read 2001: A Space Odyssey in a while but am somewhat baffled by it being on the list.
Flannery O'Connor is another head-scratcher. A devout catholic, her stories were often violence but almost always featured the theme of redemption.
