Banned Book Bonanza
Introduction
Who has the right to tell us what we can and cannot read?
Between
1990 and 2004, the American Library Association reported 8,332
challenges to keep books out of school and community libraries.
Often
challenges are motivated by a desire to protect children from
�inappropriate� sexual content or �offensive� language. The following
were the top three reasons cited for challenging materials as reported
to the Office of Intellectual Freedom:
- the material was considered to be "sexually explicit"
- the material contained "offensive language"
- the materials was "unsuited to any age group"
