Inappropriate?
On ABC News they have a list of books that are banned, have been banned, or challenged. I agree with some of the books that should be banned, and their are some that should not be banned.
I do not agree that the book, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, should be banned because they use they term "N-Word". I think that is an insignificant reason to ban a book. I believe people that read this book should know the history of this word. Just because in this day and age people take it the bad way and even use it as a slang word does not mean that they should ban a book. Especially since that is the only reason why it was or is banned.
I also agree with the banning of the book, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. One of the reasons this book was banned, or has been banned was because of the "bitterness and hatred toward white people...." This reason is decent reason because if someone was treating someone else badly like what is happening in the story, it might teach someone to hate someone because of what they have done when you are supposed to forgive them, not hate them.
I strongly agree with the banning of the book, And the Tango Makes Three. This book promotes that homosexuality is "okay". Just because penguins are being used instead of humans does not mean that it doesn't promote homosexuality, it is just being promoted in a different way.
I see why certain books are on this list and some should not be on the list because of little things such as a certain words, emotions and other things.
