Censorship has followed the free expressions of men and women throughout history.
The very first record of censorship was in China, 300 AD, when the first censorship law was introduced (Otite). Books should be free for anyone and everyone to read, although children and young adults may be naive and impressionable, books should not be exclusive to certain age groups or social classes. The challenging and banning of the books like Huckleberry Finn, Fahrenheit 451, and The Great Gatsby. These books were challenged and banned for ridiculous reasons. The reason Huckleberry Finn was banned was because its use of the N-word made students uncomfortable reading it (Akkoc 1). Other books of it’s kind have been challenged and banned for similar reasons.
