He wants the district to remove the book from the curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just all kinds of filth,&#8221; said Alton Verm, adding that he had not read &#8220;Fahrenheit 451.&#8221; &#8220;The words don&#8217;t need to be brought out in class. I want to get the book taken out of the class.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He looked through the book and found the following things wrong with the book: discussion of being drunk, smoking cigarettes, violence, &#8220;dirty talk,&#8221; references to the Bible and using God&#8217;s name in vain. He said the book&#8217;s material goes against their religions beliefs.
