I believe that the Kite Runner should not be banned from School District 53. Banning the Kite Runner would produce claims of double standards‚ be a disservice to high schoolers in sd53‚ and actually limit certain ideas allowed to be discussed in a school setting. I’d like to start off by asking why the District favours banning the Kite runner‚ but appears to be perfectly alright with Shakespeare’s Macbeth being analyzed and taught to 16 year olds every year. Last I remember Macbeth was positively

There is one sure fire way to burn more calories by playing golf: If the course will allow it‚ forgo a cart in favor of walking. In 2010‚ sports scientist Neil Wolkodoff conducted a study using a group of amateur golfers‚ and found they burned over 700 calories per 9 holes when they walked the course versus just over 400 when they rode in a cart. This means you could burn about a Big Mac’s worth of extra calories by walking an 18-hole round instead of riding. Now that the obvious is out of the way

I agree that homework should be banned. I think that homework should be banned because of multiple reasons. Homework can be stressful‚ and sometimes homework can be overloaded‚ we also get less sleep when we do homework. We never get enough time to exercise either because we are caught up in getting the homework done. What good does homework have? Revision for a test is understandable for homework? But not extra work‚ we spend 6 or more hours at school and then we have to do even more when we get

The cigarette is a small but deadly habit enjoyed by 45.3 million Americans. Smoking is illegal inside most public restaurants and buildings as well as on school property. But‚ why should cigarette smoking be banned in all public spaces‚ including outside public establishments?

have guns banned or have them only for self-defense. It is a big problem for people‚ because they are just out on the street or in a store and the next thing they would get shot and killed. I think that if guns were to be banned‚ they should just ban pistol and semi-automatic rifles‚ because many people like to go hunting and it would take the enjoyment of hunting away from those people. The United States need to look at the big picture and think about what would happen if all guns were banned. There

really upset knowing her pet guinea pig Squiggles could have died because of all the toxins sprayed and deadly tests done by scientists. Therefore‚ animal testing should be banned. Animal testing should be banned because it harms animals‚ all animals are different‚ and most tests are inaccurate. One reason why animal testing should be banned is because it harms animals. If we don’t ban animal testing‚ animals eventually will die off or be permanently blinded. I remember when I first found out about

Why The Giver? There are books being banned and challenged all over the country. To challenge a book means that a person or group of people try to limit its access to children/readers but are not successful. A banned book means that a certain book that had been challenged was successfully removed and prohibited from being sold. Lois Lowry’s The Giver tells a story about a young boy named Jonas who lives in a dystopian society. Everything in Jonas’s world is controlled‚ even death and emotions

Why whale hunting should be banned. Whale hunting or whaling is hunting whales for commercial use‚ to get oil‚ food‚ or be used for scientific studies. Whaling has been going on for thousands of years‚ originally whales where killed for food but more recently they have been hunted for more industrial purposes like the liver for oil or using whale teeth for buttons and jewellery. Whale oil is even can even be used for alcohol‚ soap and even lipstick. After World War 2‚ Japan had a shortage of food

challenged at our school. I can think of many reasons why this book should not be removed from our reading list here at Catholic High‚ and I ask that you take this letter and my opinion in it seriously before you take any action. I understand that the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been controversial ever since it was published in the late 19th century‚ but I believe that some of the reasons why the book banned are not an issue in today’s society. For example‚ many libraries banned the book from
