How many banned books have you read?

I believe wholeheartedly in the freedom to choose… especially when it comes to reading. No one should be telling me, or my children, what we can or cannot read.

Judy Blume on Censorship-
Ideas.
Censors don’t want children exposed to ideas different from their own. If every individual with an agenda had his/her way, the shelves in the school library would be close to empty.
