[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 308992, member: 1963"] Banning books in schools is much more prevalent today than it was forty or fifty years ago. I was an extremely advanced reader and I can remember my mother going down to the school board and doing paperwork to allow me access to the books set aside for considerably older students. I read 'Catcher in the Rye' and "Huckleberry Finn", etc., as a young child, and read 'To Kill a Mockingbird" at about that age as well. I doubt you could find those in any elementary school library in this day and age. There is a different socio-political environment in the America of today which is all I am going to say on the subject. in my humble opinion, it is the parents' decision as to what books they allow their children to read. NO outside entity should have the authority to control access to information. [/QUOTE]
