    I think that these reasons are good reasons to ban the book but I also feel that it should not be banned. This book can open up a teen’s eyes to the world around them. People that seem ok can be struggling and this book teaches that you should not just go into denial like Beth, but you should be more like Calvin and take action when someone is down in the dumps. The profanity in the story I also believe is a positive.…

    This book should not be banned. It is a fact of life, explicit acts of intercourse happen and the experiences depicted in this book show you what happens in life. I do not see these actions of explicitness bad or inappropriate for the readers. Thinking back to middle school, in the sixth grade we started talking about the human sex organs and how they worked. In the seventh grade we had our STD/STI unit in science.…

    There are many reasons as to why books are banned, but a main reason is because of the use of explicit language. Vonnegut defends his book in a letter he wrote to Drake High School, explaining as to why “some of the characters speak coarsely.” He wanted students, and all readers, to know that the use of bad language was “because people speak coarsely in real life.” Vonnegut wrote the letter to Drake to…

    Book banning and censoring is something that happens in this country to stop children from being exposed to topics that are sometimes deemed too explicit to be suitable for children. Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, keeps getting banned from the curriculum of a Mississippi middle school. This is happening for the books inclusion of rape and derogatory language, particularly the overuse of the n-word. Many also do not like how some of the characters in the novel are portrayed, and do not realize how this portrayal is very accurate to the time period. Because of the truthfulness of the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, along with every other book, should not be banned or censored because books reflect and bring awareness to real life problems, the practice of banning books violates the First Amendment, and reasons for book banning are often easily contradicted.…

    Even though it was banned from libraries it still remained available for classroom use at any teacher's discretion. In my own opinion though I don't believe that the book should be banned because someone took something in a different way than the writer meant to imply. The so called murders in this book was not like most people would think it wasn't like a gunshot or anything like you see in the news. These murders were people being put down by a needle.…

    Fortunately, for every group pushing for bans on literature, there are organizations that fight for this freedom. One such organization is the American Civil Liberties Union. In the year 2000, when discussing the topic of book banning, the organization stated that, “Permitting restraints on literature sets the stage for attacks on all expression that is artistically or politically controversial or that portrays unpleasant realities of life” (American Civil Liberties Union). Although some books may contain graphic violence or sexual content, and therefore of course should be kept out of the hands of children, I’d like to think that these widespread en masse bans of such literature are a poor way to go about it. It’s not as if middle or high school students are incapable of understanding and comprehending dark or more adult subject matter.…
