The Importance Of Banning Books In Schools
I think we should ban books because if we need to learn a subject that we don't know then we can look that book up in the library. There's lots of students that can learn by reading. We learn from different subjects.We should banned books that are not appropriate for ages 11 to 15 If we do have books we can look up any word we want and that would be cool for some kids because if they got a spelling test coming up they can get the spelling words list from there teacher and look them up before the spelling test.But if they banned books it would be hard on the students because if they don't have a dictionary or a computer to look them spelling words up and when they do the test they would not know what the words mean and the would fail the

    As shown in Fahrenheit 451 censoring everything and banning book can have a strong impact on a society. The banning of books is robbing these people of their creativity causing them to lead on meaningless lives. Censoring all information also causes a lot of damage although there may be many good reasons for doing this. Censoring also plays a huge role in the way these citizens lead on meaningless lives and have weak social connections. For example, Clarisse discusses how everyone labels her as “antisocial” when reality she is the complete opposite depending “on what you mean by social”. She describes how everyone talks about nothing and how people drive their cars so fast to avoid seeing reality. Faber also comments to Montag that nothing…

    The community should not be able to ban books. They could be educational to students, and they would be missing out on that education. For example, Of Mice and Men helped our class learn a lot of the literary elements, and good ways to right books.…

    For me personally, books should not be banned because it is basically censoring someone else's art. Writers or authors have the right to publish whatever they want. They are just books. People should not get all worked up over a piece of literature. Especially schools. Schools across the country in different time periods banned the novel for the reasons being that it is too vulgar, sexual, and violent for kids to read. (“Banned Book: The Catcher in the Rye”)…

    If I was told that books or any printed materials were banned I would feel very upset, because books are a fun way for me to pass time, and I find a very nice and easy form of entertainment. Book are a way for me to escape reality for a while, they take me to another time and place, and it makes me think and imagine many things. Books sometimes provide inspiration and knowledge, and they make learning fun. The idea of being punished for doing something I enjoy is upsetting, I couldn't imagine living in a world where I wouldn't be able to read my favorite books, and if I did try to read it I would be punished. Although, I am curious as to why books or any printed material of the sort became banned, and if the justification is good enough, I…

    Many people read and enjoy R.L. Stine books such as the goosebumps series and the fear street series. Even though many people love to read R.L. Stine books some of his books are still banned. Many parents have agreed that these books are not appropriate for children of certain age levels. When it comes down to it, it is the parents’ choice on what their child reads, but that doesn’t mean the book should be banned so that no child can read it without going to a place where the book isn’t banned. This is why I think banning these books is bad.…

    Ban a Book

    It seems we are fast losing our freedoms as American citizens. Personal phone lines are tapped, religious freedoms are no longer allowed to be exercised in public schools, and never before has there been such a threat to America's very existence. Our manufacturing jobs have been leaving the country at a steady rate since the 1980's, health care is nearly impossible to afford, employers offer fewer benefits, social Security has been run into the ground, and our nation is in massive debt for trillions of dollars. And since books were hand written, our literature has been censored. In this modern era many would not think banning books, a hindrance on one’s freedom of choice, would be the situation, especially a great American novel such as The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This book is a classic, depicting the American dream of the self made man, and it should not have been banned.…

    Book Bannings

    Books all over America are in danger. Books, objects that allow imagination and the expansion of the mind and the world around one, are often times subject to criticism and even bannings when any one person does not like the content. Books bannings should not be done whatsoever, let alone become a semi-common practice. Of course, bannings only occur after careful consideration. Or do they? Censorship is a growing problem in America, as parents and other authority figures ban various types of books in their community when content is too “edgy” or “age inappropriate”, and these are often gone through without the book so much as being opened. However, in all reality, what might be “wrong” for one child may be just right for another. Are book…

    I believe that every person should have the option to read whatever they want. Many schools claim they ban books because they do not want students to act out or feel uncomfortable. Schools are afraid that their students are going to achieve the violent crimes that are mentioned in the books. In the article "Banned Books" the article states," The First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees our right to free speech...includes the right…

    At first glance, the debate over banning books appears unimportant. Nevertheless, this debate has divided our nation into those who favor censoring books to protect their impressionable adolescents, and those who argue that education should be open for everybody without interference from the government in restricting the publishing and accessing of these books.…

    Yes, drugs,alcohol,sex,are not easy subjects,but why ignore what exists around you. Let children read about these topics and let them gain information of why drugs,alcohol,and sex are either, not safe or the effects that are brought with every subject. Don’t ban books that only have one purpose,to inform the future generations that will be the adults soon. And what can a society that has little experience and knowledge about sex,drugs, and alcohol do? Well,surely not the right thing,because those children that were pulled away from book with censored information, are not informed of all the effects that can be brought to them with each situation. Censorship is not ok, all those topics need to be taught to children so they get the right idea of what misusing drugs and alcohol can bring, and all the diseases that can be brought with sex and etc. Let’s open the eyes to the children and let them see what life…
