Apparently this happened this week sometime. Kjelstad: Thanks for the link--I didn't know about that.

I'm completely against it.

Why is there a "Banned Books" list? What about Freedom of Speech? How is Sarah Palin involved? I just saw this article on Yahoo about a list of irrestistable banned books. Here's the link. http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/91854/ Why are good books like "The Lovely Bones", "To Kill a Mockingbird", and "Of Mice and Men" on the banned list? All of those are good books. I don't get it. I thought that this was a country where we could express ourselves and this country has the nerve to break that right by banning books from the world and denying authors who wanna express themselves? The fact that there are books that cannot be expressed to the good people of America pisses me off, especially since I love books! You know, Ray Bradbury (author of Fahrenheit 451) was right about something about this happening except the banned books aren't being burned yet. Here's the link about Sarah Palin and her opinion of banned books. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080912/ap_on_el_pr/palin_librarian_4 How is she involved in this? Is she for or against banning books? If she's against banned books, then she might be likable. I need to know what the hell is going on with this issue! Why are there banned books? What happened to free speech? VIVA LA RAZA! This is censorship! I own a few books from this list.
What do you think of Palin's list of banned books,...? Haven't you read any of these and enjoyed them? Sarah Palin's book ban list and Chris Hedges on "American Fascists" When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. Sinclair Lewis, 1935 Below is a list of the books Sarah Palin tried to have banned from the Wasilla, Alaska Library. When I was in Anchorage two years ago, residents of Wasilla I met described the place as a growing, more-and-more suburban community north of Anchorage. In her speech, Palin called the area "the valley." Mayor Palin would seem to be a strong force in the suburbanization of the village of Wasilla. When the Wasilla librarian refused to trash these books, Mayor Palin tried to have her fired. This caused a stir in Wasilla which then turned into a drive to protect the librarian. Some of my favorite examples of American literature are on this list. This is the act of a patriotic American? No, this is the act of a religious fundamentalist trying to squeeze herself into the role of a mythic frontier American. The attempt to ban American literary masterpieces like Catcher In The Rye, Grapes Of Wrath, To Kill A Mockingbird, Death Of A Salesman, Leaves Of Grass, As I Lay Dying, Huckleberry Finn, Catch 22 and Tarzan indicates, flags and Bible citations aside, her ascendance to national power would be downright un-American. In the realm of Rovian political marketing and the unfolding effort to win the Presidency not with ideas but with a cult of personality, McCain is the humiliated warrior ready to "go to the gates of hell" to preserve American exceptionalism and Sarah Palin is his fascist "bride," a mythic frontier mom able to shoot, gut and cook a moose while nurturing her family who has said publicly our war in Iraq is supported by God and people should pray to God to get the Alaska gas pipeline approved. This is a pivotal moment in American history, and we all need to expose this cult of personality for what it is, a cynical sham. Please pass this on far and wide. John Grant This list is taken from the official minutes of the Wasilla Library Board.

top 10 banned and known books list in school? What is the top 10 banned but well know book for kids in school?
Have you ever looked at the banned and challenged book list in your area? Where I live the list is pretty long. Some of the more ridiculous titles included in the list are: The Giver by Lois Lowry Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Lord of the Flies by William Golding These books have all been challenged and in some cases removed from schools and libraries. I've read all of them, and I wouldn't hesitate to give any one of them to my kids, once they are at the appropriate age. We home school. I agree that there are some books I hope my kids never read, but I don't believe that this kind of censorship is effective at all. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't like it, don't read it! What are your thoughts? Am I missing something here?

looking for a "banned" book? I'm looking to find out about a book. I don't know the title and know very little about it. I know someone who knows the title but he won't tell anyone.

He also said that it was on "like, the ten most banned books list" and he jokingly said that if he told us the title he might be arrested. Can anyone help?

Do you think a book should be banned from the library just becasue it uses bad language? It's for homework. I'm supposed to interview different people and wirte down thier responses. It's mainly about Catcher In The Rye. If you've read it you know it has bad language, sexual themes, and has a mentally unstable person as the hero of the story. So do you think that's a good reason to ban a book from a library/reading list for school? Thank you for any answers. I really appreciate them all.

can some one give me a list of banned books? i would also like the year and the Arthur now this is a different question. can you give me the name of a Arthur that was killed because of the book he wrote? thats all thank you
What things should I look out for to make sure my book doesn't end up being banned I've read a lot of ban books, Slaughterhouse Five, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, The Color Purple . . . And I understand that a lot of those books i've read there are constant swears, and really descriptive sexual scenes. But then there are books such as Monster, and The Secret Life of Bees that I've read that I think have almost the same things, but aren't banned (at least I don't think so). Monster has a ton of fowl language, and The Secret Life of Bees has a swear here and there and some reletive sexual content. And a books that I just don't understand why they are banned like Memoirs of a Geisha, Kujo, and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. But surely, I wouldn't want my book to be on this list, so what can I watch out for? My book is an adventure/action/fantasy type of novel, so there's going to be some blood written description during certain scenes (battle scenes), and since my characters are teens, I guess I'll be wanting to, not necessarily having to, but wanting to add a couple slurs here and there in order to fit the "now-a-days teens" things . . . I mean, I'm 16 taking quarter college classes at Century so I'm a teen myself. I curse here and there. So . . . any advise? What's too much, what's okay??
What is the full list of the recent 23 books banned by the South Korea? I heard South Korea banned several books including one by Noam Chomsky's can someone name all the books please?
Why is "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" on so many "banned book" lists? School boards are so afraid of someone being offended. Yes, I know that the word "n*gger" is used repeatedly by Huck in reference to the slave Jim. Well, duh! Considering the time and place the book was set in, is he really going to refer to him as "African-American"? And all the talk about Samuel Clemens (pen name - Mark Twain) being a racist; in fact, Clemens was a staunch abolitionist (that is, wanting to do away with slavery, for those of you who don't pay attention during your history class). The book was written in first person from Huck's point of view using Huck's persona, NOT that of Mr. Clemens. The school library will keep copies of Seventeen (with articles on "should I sleep with my boyfriend?" and "the positives of masturbation"), but they refuse to keep this American classic on the shelves. What's wrong with this picture?

Do you think The Catcher in the Rye should be banned from high school english classes? It's for homework. I'm supposed to interview different people and wirte down thier responses. It's mainly about Catcher In The Rye. If you've read it you know it has bad language, sexual themes, and has a mentally unstable person as the hero of the story. So do you think that's a good reason to ban a book from a library/reading list for school? Thank you for any answers. I really appreciate them all.

Did you get to see the Spanish and Italian Inquisition series on PBS? It was at least a three hour program and was awesome. I didn't realize the Church just released their records a few years ago, and that they rescinded their banned books list only in 1960.... What did you think, if you watched it? That Napoleon liberated Northern Italy from the Inquisition was news to me. I had often heard that he was considered a liberator all across Europe in his day. Beethoven even dedicated a symphony to him. But I had never really understood what Napoleon had done to get this reception. We’re taught mainly about his military genius, his arrogance and womanizing, his Winter debacle in Russia, his ultimate hubris in declaring himself emperor and his downfall and subsequent exiles. But I had never heard the story of his liberation of the Jewish ghettos of Italy, nor of his confiscation and study of 1300 crates of Inquisition records. It is from Napoleon’s scholars that we learned of the persecution of Galileo. Without Napoleon, I believe we would still be in the dark over the extent of the Inquisition. ====== "I have not yet seen anything about the Protestant Inquisition, that made also some very bad things" Huh??? In the USA: from early age we’re indoctrinated in the religious
