Banning of “Of Mice and Men” I believe that John Steinbeck’s "Of Mice and Men" should be banned. Throughout "Of Mice and Men" are offensive and vulgar language‚ profanity‚ racism‚ sexism‚ and promoting euthanasia.

When the ranch workers talk to one another‚ they speak with bad language‚ not the refined English of a more educated class. The raw

tolerable. Holden witnesses profanity around the city. Graffiti and carvings of the phrase “Fuck you” is seen multiple times‚ and it agitates Holden. An upsetting display results with Holden’s rant‚ “Somebody’d written “Fuck you” on the wall. It drove me damn near crazy… I kept wanting to kill to whoever’d written it” (Salinger‚ 201).

The Great Gatsby‚ Banned In 1987‚ “The Great Gatsby” was first challenged at a baptist college located in Charleston‚ SC. It was challenged for the “explicit content (profanity)”‚ “sexual content”‚ and the excessive partying and use of alcohol.

Also if you read the book you’ll see that the lesson in it‚ is a lesson everyone should learn. The “sexual content” in the book does

There’s no question that TV influences the attitudes and perceptions of young viewers‚ and MTV is deliberately marketing its raunchy material to millions
