We are reading the book, To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. Catcher in the Rye and Huckleberry Finn. As I was researching, I stumbled across this site. After reading the list of considered banned books, I felt it was necessary for me to express my opinions on this discussion board. No, because I had the better discretion than those of whom the book banning council speak of.
Books are a form of speech.
Authors use their writings to express themselves. With all of this banning, it would be just prolonging the inevitable. Your children will eventually be aware of such profane words when they grow up. Banning books will not prevent them from hearing or using those words. I am sorry to say that our world has come to the point where certain spoken words that have been shunned by our society, are rapidly making their way into our literature.
