Yeah, I was shaking my head over some of ...Hi MsM!<br /><br />Yeah, I was shaking my head over some of the picks. Some are so innocent, but I can see some parents point about Forever, but it didn't stop me from squirreling away a copy and reading it in high school anyway. The one true way to get a teenagers attention is to say 'You can't' and they always will give it a try. <br /><br />And Maurice Sendak, Dav Pilkey, I encouraged my kids to read these fun authors, I mean, I could let them sit in front of the TV or read to them from these wonderful books. Well, the TV went off and the books came out.<br /><br />And I still encourage them to do something else, reading, music, anything. Julie of the Wolves? Please....<br /><br />**head hitting desk**<br /><br />These people need to get a life!<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-42917919251294727672010-09-26T07:49:34.960-05:002010-09-26T07:49:34.960-05:00I am stunned by some of those books on that list! ...I am stunned by some of those books on that list! I can't imagine what people could find offensive in them. I'm surprised Judy Blume is on there so many times, I get that "Forever" might be too much for some parents wanting their kids to read, but "Blubber"? and "Are you there God? it's me Margaret"??? These a innocent kids books. <br />I loved 'Summer of my German Soldier' and 'Outsiders' and 'Gone with the Wind' as a child. And totally fell for all the Harry Potter books as an adult.<br />I just don't get what the uproar is all about. These are great books!<br />*shakes head*<br /><br />:o(<br /><br />MsMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-66098609552091189752010-09-25T16:09:31.920-05:002010-09-25T16:09:31.920-05:00Hi B!

I'm against all types of censorship, ...Hi Lea!<br /><br />I'm against all types of censorship, banning books is one of the most atrocious of censorships. When we silence an author, not only are we taking away a basic freedom that all people should have, we also limit their audience from ever hearing their message. Even worse is the fact that communities here is the United States still hold annual book burnings. It's an obscenity. <br /><br />Yes, there are many things far worse in the world.... poverty, hunger, inequality, violence against race, color, sex, and sexuality. But, one of the small ones that I can effect is censorship. Happy to lend my voice as small as it is.<br /><br />((hugs))<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-83929569626484976702010-09-25T16:03:06.683-05:002010-09-25T16:03:06.683-05:00Some of those I get...it's wrong but I get it....Some of those I get...it's wrong but I get it.<br /><br />But others, I mean Dav Pilkey..why?Blodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-27107360429888205202010-09-25T15:17:58.561-05:002010-09-25T15:17:58.561-05:00OMG, It's appalling isn't id Dottie?
