I agree that every book isn't rig...Great post. I agree that every book isn't right for every reader and I think parents should be aware of what their kids are reading, because if they aren’t, they’re missing out on some great opportunities for discussions and great interactions with their children. And as a parent I think parents should be able to say that they don’t want their child reading a particular book, but I don't think books need to be banned from a school. I will talk to a teacher if I think a book is inappropriate for a certain child. My high schooler is reading In Cold Blood by Capote for AP English this semester. Not a book I would encourage him to seek out, but it’s made for some interesting talks and discussions. When I look at a banned book list, I see books I enjoyed and books I didn’t and books I chose not to read. I really have no desire to read Fifty Shades of Grey, but if others do, that's their choice. (Just as long as no one gives my teenager a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey!) No one should have any say in what other people choose to read.Holly (2 Kids and Tired)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13075380878850295214noreply@blogger.com
