I still have my copy from when I was a child.

I would like to let my kids read it while they are young enough to really appreciate it as it was intended, and yet it has that word in it... which thanks to modern politics if they ever so much as uttered, even in a discussion of its ugliness, they would risk being branded for life.

So you are a book banner.

NP. I am when it comes to child porn. That belongs in a NAMBLA library

...and that is basically this whole multi-page debate condensed to a few pages.

There are some people who believe some book are too obscene for a school library. Others here disagree, either that anything is too obscene, or that these specific books are too obscene.

What I find puzzling is that so many here seem to think the community shouldn't determine what is too obscene. If not the local community, who determines what goes in a school library?

The same people complaining about this probably had no problem getting Huckleberry Finn banned from multiple schools.

Do written/illustrated materials exist that are too obscene for school libraries?

Blessed be the fruits.

We Americans inch closer and closer to the fundamentalist and authoritarian governments we supposedly stand against as a democratic republic.

Why not ban them?

Ah, the ignorance.

Harper Lee was a lady writer. No clue what her preferred pronouns were. Doesn’t really matter anyway, right?

This is the funniest exchange I’ve read on here in ages.

LOL. I live in the county that banned "To Kill A Mockingbird" in school libraries in 1966, Hanover, VA. It's now a Richmond suburb but was horse country at the time. Harper Lee responded by sending a $100 check to the Richmond News Leader's literacy fund. Burn. https://explore.lib.virginia.edu/exhibits/show/censored/walkthrough/virginia

It shouldn’t be in an elementary or middle school library, but is okay for high school. It should NOT be used in the curriculum and forced upon kids.

I read VC Andrews,, Stephen King, and Sydney Sheldon in 7th grade. Monday's not Coming looks like a very typical middle school book for a kid who reads. No wonder our kids are testing do poorly. Y'all are taking their books!

Wait till they discover Nabakov, Miller, Nin, Nicholson Baker and Naked Lunch.

It's not just the book banning.

“It’S jUsT sChOoL lIbRaRiEs.”

The fascists are moving on to getting rid of books they don’t like at public libraries now.
