[QUOTE="lizanne2, post: 309509, member: 7078"] I have a button reading...i read banned books. My difficult child 2 put it on his backpack. When my son was in preschool he had a favorite book. He liked to have it read to him during nap time. We thought it was his favorite book because it was about a boy who got a new bicycle for his birthday. One day a classmate of his borrowed the book and brought it home. The next day the parent returned the book to the school and requested it be removed from the class library. Apparently they had problem with the depiction of race in the book. My difficult child got to then bring the book home and keep it. It was until three weeks later when my mom came for a visit that I learned why difficult child 2 liked. The gramma in the book was seen reading to the grandson. White grandma and kind of black grandson. He showed her just that page. Banning this book any earlier would have deprived my son of an important self affirming experince that he chose to repeat often. Just my experience. [/QUOTE]
