Uffda, I'm late to the party.....but it is banned books week!
This is a list (from the American Library Association) of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books.
Can you believe (indignation! outrage! puzzlement!) that some folks want to ban I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou ? Or To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee? Oh come on....A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein???? Sheesh.
Fight censorship folks.
If we let people ban books, we let them ban ideas. And freedom and democracy are about the proliferation of different ideas, ideals, and individuals.
