I really struggle with this issue of how ...I agree. I really struggle with this issue of how far censorship should go. You remember that there was a time when people were trying to get Huck Finn banned from libraries and there were even book burnings held because of of the "N" word. I would be proud to have my kids read this classic ONCE THEY UNDERSTAND that this is NOT a nice word. So where do we draw the line? Also, I have not allowed my girls to read the Junie B Jones series because this little girl is a BRAT and never pays the consequences. But other mothers I know LOVE these books because their daughters are finally interested in reading. Where do we draw the line as to what's appropriate for certain ages? I think we have to be the kind of parent that your mother is and read the books our children are reading and explain to them why these things aren't appropriate. If we try to get things banned from public libraries thenwe run the risk of living out what Ray Bradbury was trying to say in "Farenheit 451."Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528794115926285427noreply@blogger.com
