Many people who request books be banned haven't read them or are taking their concerns out of context. It's sad, really.

I mean- ...I am always amazed that books get banned. I mean- really? The reasons usually seem crazy to me. I read Tiger Eyes over and over again growing up. I think I turned out okay. The Diary of Anne Frank? It is a diary for goodness sake and I didn't even remember her mentioning her body- though I am sure she did. <br /><br />I can understand that some adults may not like Captain Underpants. But- personally they are just silly books that get kids reading. Potty humor abounds- which most kids think is hilarious. :) Stephanie@Fairday's Bloghttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-11122630065575257702013-09-18T19:12:54.700+01:002013-09-18T19:12:54.700+01:00I think banning books is ridiculous, and it IS cra...I think banning books is ridiculous, and it IS crazy that it's still happening.

It's ironic in the face of what freedon of speech means.
