you’d think that these books are killing people, the way some people are going on. they are not trying to change our religions, our ways of life, but trying to open our eyes to something we may not have known. they teach literally, what is good and bad, because they give so many examples of such. if we don’t know from our own experiences or somebady else’s, what are we going to learn from?

banning books is purely murder. one by one, our freedoms are being taken away. though, did we ever havethem in the first place? what ever happened to free speech? humans happened. oppression is one of our greatest drives in life. without it we are not human. so banning an idea that might be dificult to explain is the most logical step. if the issue is not there in the first place, it saves embarrassment. who is right?

i think that children should be taught the truth from the begining. for the simple fact that when they are in these situations they learn how to handle it the right way, instead of the way that thing have been handled. for instance the columbin sittuation. i think that if from the begining if we teach our kids the reality of life & not fiction we just might be able to prevent things like that from happening in the future. there will always be someone who thinks with their eyes closed, but if we could start with our kids maybe just maybe we could change life little by little.

Although these books might be telling the truth, little children do NOT need to be reading these. I know that you might not want to hide anything that happens in this world but… some things need to be censored. There’s a certain age to learn about things in life and little children don’t need to learn about it any sooner than they have to.
