Censorship in the Libraries
|
|
|
|
'All of us can think of a book that we hope none of our children or any
|
|
other children have taken off the shelf. But if I have the right to remove
|
|
that book from the shelf -- that work I abhor -- then you also have exactly
|
|
the same right and so does everyone else. And then we have no books left on
|
|
the shelf for any of us.' --Katherine Paterson, Author
|
|
|
|
Write a persuasive essay to a newspaper reflecting your views on censorship
|
|
in libraries. Do you believe that certain materials, such as books, music,
|
|
movies, magazines, etc., should be removed from the shelves if they are
|
|
found offensive? Support your position with convincing arguments from your
|
|
own experience, observations, and/or reading.
|
|
|
|
Read for conciseness, clarity of thought, and form.
