Em-Lee you're lucky that books are hardly ever banned in your district. Sometimes teachers will teach books that are banned in my district anyway because it's on their curriculum. The ones I know for sure that are banned are The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird. I also think that The Catcher and the Rye may be banned as well. It always makes me sad when these books are banned, but sometimes it can't be stopped. Through books though (non-fiction as well as many others) we are able to go to different places and explore things that we never could just by sitting around.
Sorry about the rant. Reading is just something I've felt passionately about since I was little and my parents hardly ever put boundaries on what I could read(which may or may not have been good). So I'll stop that now.
Thank you Yero my Hero for saying the title. Very helpful. :)
