Books

The subject of banning books is once again in the news and will continue into 2022. Some books in elementary school being banned are those talking about gays where pics of oral sex between men are considered inappropriate. Other schools are banning books like, To Kill A Mockingbird and Huckleberry Finn. Is there any book no matter how extreme that should be banned. Should some books be banned from lower grades but not for high school. Although most people agree that books in general should not be banned everyone has a breaking point. While many feel that different life styles are okay they may balk when it comes to polygamy or child brides. How about books promoting sex with animals or advocating female genital mutilation. Some say, people who say nothing should be banned are virtue signaling showing how they are more tolerant than others. There is a big difference between having a book in school library and reading it in the classroom since picking the library book is a choice but the classroom is an assignment.
