Books like Little Red Riding Hood and A Wrinkle in Time are banned for different reasons. Some people claim that Little Red Riding Hood is too scary for children . A Wrinkle in Time is banned from certain schools because the characters travel through time, which contradicts some families' religious views. It is understandable that most parents would want to protect their children from books and television that deal with violence, drugs, or adult situations. It is a parent's responsibility to check on what their children are reading and to share their views on the material.
Children can then form their own opinions.
Maybe children will realize that everyone has different ideas and that it is okay to write those ideas down and to share them with other people. In America, we should have the right to read anything we want. It is our responsibility to speak against banning books. Perhaps we can guarantee that books like James and the Giant Peach, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will be back in school libraries across the United States. In a golden sea of tranquility.
