Censorship: Why education is needed
The book Fahrenheit 451 is based on a censorship society which means that the government rules what the community does.

It takes up people’s time and then they never have time for family, or sports, or even school. When the people think they begin to ask questions, and then they may all receive the answers that they might not want to hear.
