What should appear over the main entrance door of the bush* library?

last night we went to a production of The Fantasticks* by our local community theater group.

The actual story does not really apply to the bush* mis-administration - however there was one line in the play which struck me as being perfect for the bush* library. With a slight editorial modification, it characterizes the entire bush* mis-administration.

In the first act, "Matt" talks about how worldly and intelligent he is, he's attending college and majoring in biology, then he goes on about being in love with the girl next door and how it has turned him upside down.

He says "I've abandoned biology and embraced ignorance"

Change it slightly to "He abandoned logic and science and embraced Ignorance"
and you have bush*

or to combine it with Dante's Inferno : Abandon logic and science all ye who enter here and embrace ignorance"

either way it works...

*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fantasticks
The Fantasticks is a 1960 musical with music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones. It tells an allegorical story, loosely based on the play "The Romancers" ("Les Romanesques") by Edmond Rostand <1>, concerning two fathers who put up a wall between their houses to ensure that their children fall in love, because they know that children always do what their parents forbid. After the children do fall in love, they discover their fathers plot and they each go off and experience things in the world. They return to each other and the love they had, having learned from the world and made an informed decision.
