Banning Of Books

Children all across the world read books at high reading levels, but some books at higher reading levels have inappropriate stories to tell. I strongly agree that certain books should be banned from schools because of racial themes, violence, witchcraft, negativity, profanity, and alternative lifestyles. Switching to a parent’s point of view I could guess that I wouldn’t want my child to be reading about demons or treating African-Americans like slaves and taking advantage of people who don’t look the same as us. “A big reason that some books should be banned is that of racial issues. Some books may encourage racism towards groups of people. Another reason is because not all books are appropriate for certain groups of people. Small children
should not be exposed to books with dirty language…” stated the article “Should certain books be banned from libraries?”. I agree with the author of this quote, young children should not be exposed to racial issues or dirty language. For some parents this is a problem, to have their kids picking an interesting-looking book, only to find that it has inappropriate language and content. Books should be banned because kids can pick up a book that has a nice sounding title and not read the summary. If the child likes the book, they might not tell their parents that it has bad language or morals. If the child doesn't know what the bad words are, they might say them at school and therefore get suspended or expelled. According to the article “Book Banning in U.S. Classrooms and Libraries” “Books should be banned because kids can pick up a book that has a nice sounding title and not read the summary. If the child likes the book, they might not tell their parents that it has bad language or morals. If the child doesn't know what the bad words are, they might say them at school and therefore get suspended or expelled.”
