Why Do Books Be Banned

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.

Many children enjoy reading this book and many parents do not see anything wrong with this book. I believe that if a parent believes the book is not something there child should read they shouldn’t ban the book, simply don’t let your child read it.

Also to some young readers they may find the book to be scary. Even with these other points I am still against banning this book and many other books. I encourage anyone who dislikes a book or finds it inappropriate to think about their decision before challenging or banning a
