What is the moral of the story in Fahrenheit 451?

Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" deals with the fact that books must be burnt to stop people from thinking and questioning the authorities, and to ensure conformity of all. Therefore, the moral could be said to be a warning against extreme censorship. Individuals must be permitted to think and to question in order to promote intellectual curiOSity, progressive thought and basic values of decency and care for one another.
