To Kill A Mockingbird Should Be Banned
The book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is very well known and it’s also a modern classic. Many people love the book about a 10 year old girl narrating an event that happened in her town. Many people love the book and could read it over and over. Some people disagree, saying the book is racist and has an immoral plot. Schools have been banning amazing books like this one because of parents complaining and teachers disagreeing with it.
One reason this book is banned from many schools is because the plot involves rape. A girl accuses an African American man of taking advantage of her when he didn’t. Rape happens all of the time and you can’t keep children away from learning it. If they don’t know that stuff like that happens in real life, …show more content…
Eden Valley, Minnesota banned it because it used the words “damn” and “whore lady.” I don’t think it’s fair to take a book away from children because it uses curse words. Most television shows use curse words. Most adults use them too. It’s just words and a lot of people hear them everyday. Many books and television shows use curse words more than To Kill a Mockingbird.
The last and main reason this book is banned is because of racism. Also it uses some racist words such as when people call Atticus a ‘nigger lover.’ People may get offended about this, but it’s not like the book is encouraging racism. It’s talking about a black man who got accused of a crime he didn’t commit. These things happened and sometimes still happen. I don’t think the book should be banned because it shows how our world was once in history. We learn about the Civil Wars in Social Studies. This is only digging a little deeper about it.
With the research I’ve done about the book being banned, my opinion still remains that it’s not right to keep it away from children. I think schools should be allowed to provide the book to students, but I don’t think they should make them read it. If the child wants to read the book and their parents approve, it should be allowed in school libraries. If the book is offencive to you, don’t read it. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean nobody should be able to enjoy
