As the American Library Association notes, books are usually banned "with the best intention…to protect others, frequently children, from difficult ideas and information." (Brunner). If a book has frightening or controversial ideas in them, adults willing often censor that book from children. From 2000 to 2009, of the 5,099 challenges that were reported, 1,639 of these challenges were in school libraries and 30 challenges in academic libraries. (Frequently Challenged Books). At various times in American history, even some of the tamest books have been banned. Harriet the Spy, was banned because it supposedly taught children to "lie, spy, back-talk, and curse." Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl was banned for being too depressing. A Light in the Attic, by Shel Silverstein, was banned because it might encourage kids to break dishes so they won't have to dry them. (Frequently Challenged Books). While some of these excuses are more reasonable than other excuses, the banning of these books prevents the children from empathizing...
Banning Books “It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written, the books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers” (Blume 1999). Judy Blume can not explain the problem of book censorship any clearer.
Books are banned for many reasons but more times than not it is because of the sensitive information found within the novel that agitates the reader. As long as people have been able to develop their own opinions, others have sought to prevent them from sharing. At some point in time, every idea has ultimately become objectionable to someone. The most frequently challenged and most visible targets of such objection are the very books found in classrooms and public libraries. These controversial novels teach lessons that sometimes can be very sensitive to some but there is much more to challenged books than a controversial topic. What lies within these pages is a wealth of knowledge, such as new perspectives for readers, twisting plots, and expressions that are found nowhere else. For example, To Kill A Mockingbird, contains references to rape, racial content, and profanity that have caused many to challenge the novel in the first place. The book was banned from countless
Book banning in the United States and anywhere else in the world I feel should be abolished. Books are published and written for a reason. The reason is to expand the mind to new things. Sure some books are better than others but there is no reason to challenge or ban books.
With so many books being banned it raises the question: Should sensitive and controversial lite...
Because of this, the book should be okay to be read by children. Not all books are banned for the right
Britney Pham Mr. Stuart Maclean English 10.3 22 February 2024 Schools should not ban books from their libraries. The debate over whether schools should ban books is not a new issue. Many articles, studies, and surveys have taken this issue as their subject. From my point of view, schools should not ban books for the following three reasons: some issues are brutal but necessary in children's development, book censorship takes away personal choices from the majority in the community, and banning books is a discriminatory action.
Most of the book’s students read is fictional books which is all stuff we can not do in real life. Such as flying, breathing underwater or being a magical powers. Children’s books have been banned because of this type of stuff. Such as the beloved book by many children “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. This children’s book has been banned from school because it has “no value for children today” (utulsa.edu).
I feel like maybe the reason people are trying to ban this book because they don’t want their children learning about what happened in the early days of our country. But in order to prevent history repeating itself, our kids need to learn about these type of things. By denying them the knowledge, we open up our walls for this disaster to happen
As for sexual references and so on, I agree that there are a few mildly disturbing referencing to sexual organs in the human body, but as a middle school student, the person reading this should not be surprised or afraid to delve a little into this topic because it is merely the human body. I don't think that parents should ban or censor books of this nature from there children at this age, I believe whether its a violence, sexual content or religious problem in the book, the parent should just explain it as it is before they allow their child to read it that way they know the “proper” perspective the parents would like to set for their child. for example, if it is a religious problem (Atheism), instead of saying the book is “taboo” and
Students feel parents or teachers or even the government should not take away books they really want to read because of how they feel. Students should be allowed to choose what books they want to read. The books that are banned can give you are real learning experience, teaching you new language and how things were before our time. For example,In Fahrenheit 451, books were being burned and the firemen were not allowing people to read, which is similar to banning books. Life in that book was very uneventful and dull, all because the people did not get to enjoy reading.
Around 57% of these books are banned for unnecessary reasons and these books could've been used right now (Manning, Erin. " Parents Must Protect Children from Offensive Material in Books"). Therefore, books shouldn't be banned, especially for unnecessary reasons. Lastly, books should not be banned because libraries need more books ("Parents Must Protect Children from Offensive Material in Books"). A lot of parents think that school libraries are banning good books that could be used for their child's/children's study, which impacts other libraries and its books.
