Re: Just some thoughts..
Books, (in my opinion) that should not be allowed:
1. Pornography.
2. Excess violence
3. excessive coarse lanugage that does displays ingnorance and stupidity of speaker e.g. repeated cursing.
4.Political brainwashing..
I believe that NO BOOK SHOULD EVER BE BANNED
mind telling us which is your stance? seems slightly contradictory to me. "books not allowed . . .NO BANNING BOOKS DAMNIT"
I agree that politicians should stay out of what books are to be read, but parents and teachers are just as likely to fall into the same trap as the politicians. In fact, it is often parents who push these books to be banned because they don't want their kids reading them. which is really stupid--if the people in the OP article actually bothered to read more than just the first few pages they would have seen that there's a certain character that tries to save books. oops.

Re: Just some thoughts..
My point being Required school reading is very different from the issue of book banning
wrong. dead wrong.
here was my list of required reading for my senior english class
jane eyre
i know why the caged bird sings
hamlet
1984
their eyes were watching god
the power and the glory
now then, let's a parent objects to one of these books that have to be read by their child. if they are succesful in removing that book from the list, they have just banned it. take a gander at the OP article--farenhiet 451 is required reading. that parent wants it taken off that list--the first ban, and is pushing for a total ban of the book in the school system.
censorship by any other name is just as foul
