Question

Can anyone help me fix any issues that you can find, please be very critical.

Answer 1

"If they ban books, they might as well lock us away from the world." (Rory Edwards, The ALA) While I understand that those who lobby to have books banned mean well, it is one thing to make that choice for your child, but is it really fair to force your choice on every child? I could understand requiring books to have a rating system much like we have for movies and video games today, but banning any book is denying freedom of speech from the author. An author writes to share a thought, a feeling, and a moment in time, not to have their book censored. According to The American Library Association," Censorship can be subtle, almost imperceptible, as well as blatant and overt, but, nonetheless, harmful." It is harmful in the way of downgrading others work so you don't have to deal with it. Have we become a society that dictates what we can and cannot read, or do we allow children to learn to think for themselves? An example of this undue censorship occurred when a group of people, tried to have the children’s book Charlotte’s Web banned for religious reasons, according to, commondreams.org “this sort of thing is par for the lunatic small- minded course."
