You're probably aware of the article from Abc News about the most challenged books. It's funny how they say most of them are bestsellers when so many people are so bothered by it that they take it in their hands to try to get rid of it. It almost wants me to read some of them because, well I haven't read any of the challenged books.
I can't really talk bad about the article but I also can't be like "OMG THEY ARE SO RIGHT, I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THOSE BOOKS!" but from what they said about them, I think they got carried away a little like with that one book It's Totally Normal. What the heck, so kids with their super over protective parents who sign that paper in 6th grade that says "I don't want my child to particapate in this activity about sex." won't understand anything about what's happening in their lives while they're developing? K.
Other books I could agree that they should at least be challenged like and Tango makes three because I don't think little kids should be worrying about that kind of thing.
With the Harry Potter book, to me it just seems rediculous because it's not like anybody is forcing kids to read that in school or anything. You don't like it? WELL THEN DON'T READ IT, IT'S THAT SIMPLE. Nobody has to go around challenging books when inn the first place, wasn't asked to read it.
So there. Books, books, books. You gotta love em'.
