On
Censorship and Banning Books
I don’t like
decisions made for me. I can read and
decide for myself and for my children what is appropriate or not. I do agree that parents should be notified
when children are going to be studying/reading/viewing books, art, films,
plays, etc. that have content that parents might want to discuss with their
kids. But any parent worth their salt is
involved enough with their kids to already know that. Nothing was banned in my house when my kids
were growing up. My only rule was that I
listened to music, watched movies, and read books along with my kids at
first. How can you teach kids right from
wrong without letting them see the wrong as well as the right? I’d rather my kids learn about the ills of
the world via books, art, film, etc., than to learn from personal experience or
be victimized during life because they were too sheltered and went out into the
world unprepared.
