Fun fact to know and impress your friends with… Brazil has a literacy requirement for elected office. That’s right. The Brazilian Constitution does not allow illiterate candidates to hold legislative and government office. They like to try and keep unqualified persons from entering government– I’m looking at you Christine O’Donnell. How did this fun fact [...]
So last week was Banned Books Week and the Christian Science Monitor took time out to point to five books that strangely haven’t been banned.
