Libraries should not be allowed to ban books from schools because some people find the books inappropriate for containing religious beliefs, homosexuality, offensive language and sexually explicit scenes or descriptions (Lopez).

Why is “Of Mice and Men” banned? Books are banned for many reasons, but why are they banned? Books are banned and challenged when someone or a group of people have an issue with the content of the book. A book that is on the banned book list is “Of Mice and Men”.

As a third grader, I scarcely found pleasure in reading anything except books accommodating fairies. Otherwise, I couldn’t sit still long enough to get through the first chapter. Through school so far, we hadn’t done a significant amount of independent reading, but fourth grade was a fresh year with brand new expectations.
