i think banning books is stupid. kids aren’t learning things from books, theyre learning it from peers and parents, being a student myself. i think the books that dont have a little voulgarism suck because theyre not real life, im not saying we need books where people are getting shot here and stabbed there, but whats the difference if they say “damn” or something?

Activity idea: a couple of years ago Duttons Bookstore hosted an essay writing contest for kids asking them to review a banned book. Both of my kids entered and won (a little mother bragging moment), but more importantly it led to discussions about why books shouldn’t be banned, even ones I wouldn’t read.
