schools should be banned

Claim: Literature gives us the knowledge to understand and make sense of the world around us. Through literature, we survey the human condition and evaluate how and why people think the way they think and feel the way they feel. It enables us to establish our minds analytically and promotes open minds. However, some people, specifically parents, oppose the teachings of literature and are concerned of what it could influence their children. Schools and libraries should be a place where students can openly assimilate and indulge in the values and attributions of literacy.

Reasons: - the values and topics that are being discussed in these books are essential to the students’ success in society.

- education should be open to everyone

Evidence:

- (EDUCATION)

I believe that education should be open to everyone. Everyone should have a window of opportunity to read any literature they desire and construct his or her own opinions based on the reading. Reading is one of our grand freedoms. Schools and libraries should be permitted to provide information introducing contrasting viewpoints on historical and life afflicting issues. Eliminating books that some parents regard as “inappropriate” from schools and libraries underestimates youthful intelligence, darkens history, and weakens our culture to fit a mold of compliance. There is much more to most frequently challenged books than a controversial topic.

What most parents frequently neglect is that these excellent novels both teach important values and educate children about world affairs and classic themes.
I gravitate toward literature that portrays reality: Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby, Of mice and Men are a few of those examples. Most parents believe that these literary classics have been crucial to the education of young adults. Several of these timeless stories have been banned because of racial slurs, usage of language and sexual references. Thus, parents concerning the role of education for their child. Often times, some parents attempt to remove books from schools and libraries. Of course, parental concern is completely understandable, but parents who oppose to these books are often overprotective and misinformed about the contexts. These books open the minds of students, rather than distort them. At a certain age, students should have the right to decide for themselves what is appropriate.

Conclusion:
Libraries and school grounds are appropriate places for children to absorb the different meanings of literature. It is important because it manifests a glimpse of history,
