And seriously, it seems such a strange thing to be afraid of or to shun, like we never left the dark ages where people believed in magic. It would be like believing vampires are real, or zombies, at least in my opinion. <br /><br />Harriet the Spy was banned! I missed that one. That was my favorite book growing up! Now I have to go see what the fuss was about, how can she be banned? I have the same hope as you, maybe the more informed people are, the less likely they will be to condemn books.

I can't believe it was banned so recently. People are so scared of the "witch" word that they ban everything without even investigating what the book is about.<br /><br />I did a book display on banned books at my library and I was surprised to see the reasons that some books were banned or challenged like A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein or Harriet the Spy. I am hoping that reading posts like this or looking at those displays will help to educate the public on the ridiculousness of challenging and banning books.Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-82233738112666679672013-09-20T08:50:59.903-07:002013-09-20T08:50:59.903-07:00I think that would be great!
