Banned Books Week
So it's Banned Books Week. What are you doing to recognize the occasion?
I reviewed the most challenged books list, and while I think many of the titles shouldn't be read by children not yet old enough to understand some of the subjects covered, I don't support the banning of any book.
That said, should tax dollars be spent to purchase these books for public school libraries? Personally, I don't have a problem with it. We need to do all we can to encourage more people, kids in particular, to read. I just hope children of too young an age aren't being required to read subject matter for which they're not really prepared.
