Banned books

    Banning books seems absurd to me. Books are part of human society, and banning some books because they challenge certain views is simply outrageous. Yes, I do believe that certain things should not be exposed to children at certain times in their lives, but that is for their parents to decide. There is some content that can be considered inappropriate but we do have the freedom to choose what we want to read. People choose what to read based on what they like, this ban is the same as banning perfectly good food from a grocery store because of it's name or because it is made with sugar. Ridiculous. In conclusion, I believe that banning books should not be allowed to happen so easily, it is a freedom we have and it should stay that way.

  1. Nice concise statement of opinion with an amusing comparison. Not a single technical issue. Super work.
