Recently in class we have been talking about censorship. We also read the story
Palm Sunday. It was a very interesting story. I totally agree that it's not fair to ban books from schools and burn them. I think that if you don't let students read those "obsurd" book, they won't have certain knowledge or experiences needed that are out there in the real world.
There was another point that was brought out. If the school committee were to hook up lie-decetors on the students and ask them if they have ever read a book from front to back since high school, the students would not pass them. They made a very good point from this. In most cases, it is true. Most students don't read books front to back. It's just a fact.
Overall, I don't think schools should ban books. It really takes away from learning if you think about it.
