Fear and ignorance are two of the biggest threats to our democracy. Banning books is just the first step on that slippery slope.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-7166495572504941492008-10-13T23:13:00.000-04:002008-10-13T23:13:00.000-04:00I also hate censorship and agree that only parents...I also hate censorship and agree that only parents should censor books. My mom works at a small private school that won't allow students to read a lot of books. It drives me crazy whenever she mentions certain books being banned from their curriculum or library. <BR/><BR/>That's great that your library has a display!
