Books are banned for many reasons but more times than not it is because of the sensitive information found within the novel that agitates the reader. As long as people have been able to develop their own opinions, others have sought to prevent them from sharing. At some point in time, every idea has ultimately become objectionable to someone. The most frequently challenged and most visible targets of such objection are the very books found in classrooms and public libraries. These controversial novels teach lessons that sometimes can be very sensitive to some but there is much more to challenged books than a controversial topic. What lies within these pages is a wealth of knowledge, such as new perspectives for readers, twisting plots, and expressions that are found nowhere else. For example, To Kill A Mockingbird, contains references to rape, racial content, and profanity that have caused many to challenge the novel in the first place. The book was banned from countless
Many people think this book should be banned because of profanity and adult content. I can somewhat see where these adults are coming from because they don’t want their kids seeing this. There isn’t very much vulgar
To ban a book means to prohibit educational facilities from accessing or selling the book due to the inappropriate context or misleading moral values. A book can be banned or challenged by including explicit scenes, words, or context. People tend to ban books based off of their perception of what “dangerous thoughts” may occur within the work. (Brown) For example, the famous nursery rhyme, Mother Goose, has been banned in multiple locations because she “lives in a shoe with her brood.” (Brown) Flowers for Algernon was banned in Emporium, PA; Oberlin, OH; Glen Rose, AR; Glenrock, WY; and Plant City, FL due to sexually explicit passages and language. I do not agree that the novel should be banned or challenged based on these allegations.
As the American Library Association notes, books are usually banned "with the best intention…to protect others, frequently children, from difficult ideas and information." (Brunner). If a book has frightening or controversial ideas in them, adults willing often censor that book from children. From 2000 to 2009, of the 5,099 challenges that were reported, 1,639 of these challenges were in school libraries and 30 challenges in academic libraries. (Frequently Challenged Books). At various times in American history, even some of the tamest books have been banned. Harriet the Spy, was banned because it supposedly taught children to "lie, spy, back-talk, and curse." Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl was banned for being too depressing. A Light in the Attic, by Shel Silverstein, was banned because it might encourage kids to break dishes so they won't have to dry them. (Frequently Challenged Books). While some of these excuses are more reasonable than other excuses, the banning of these books prevents the children from empathizing...
Some books are just not meant to be read by a variety of different people. Most parents would not want to have their children reading books that have curse words galore. Even though some or even most parents would not have a problem with that, a few would be absolutely furious if they found out their kids were reading what they considered a dirty book. So I believe that schools should ban some books in order to stay away from upsetting parents. Some parents do not use that language, nor want their kids using or being exposed to that kind of language.
...etter than ignorance. Book censorship should not limit the amount of knowledge a child can receive, instead, books should be used to benefit children in their education and future career.

As for sexual references and so on, I agree that there are a few mildly disturbing referencing to sexual organs in the human body, but as a middle school student, the person reading this should not be surprised or afraid to delve a little into this topic because it is merely the human body. I don't think that parents should ban or censor books of this nature from there children at this age, I believe whether its a violence, sexual content or religious problem in the book, the parent should just explain it as it is before they allow their child to read it that way they know the “proper” perspective the parents would like to set for their child. for example, if it is a religious problem (Atheism), instead of saying the book is “taboo” and
These are all topics that everyone faces at some point in their lifetime. Book Censorship must be abolished in order to protect students freedom to choose, grant students invaluable life lessons, and encourage students to open their minds. Throughout time there has always been censorship. Whether is was movies, television, music, or books, there have always been barriers as to what could be produced.
I feel like maybe the reason people are trying to ban this book because they don’t want their children learning about what happened in the early days of our country.

For example,In Fahrenheit 451, books were being burned and the firemen were not allowing people to read, which is similar to banning books.
