Banned Books

My reason for wanting to do the Banned Books project is because being censored is against our American ways of life it it against the freedom acts of this great USA.
In September the American Library Association (ALA) celebrates the Freedom to read act since 1982. Although I feel that in schools there should be a limit to what our young children have access to reading within their age.

Banning books is also a treat to our freedom to chose what we would or would not read. Books are challenged by either the news papers or by a report from anyone. Their is a way which is by form of letting people know that you are interested in Banning a book.

My reason for wanting this project is tho inform others of who does this and the why. There are many books that are on the list at the American Library Association (ALA); one such book is To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee. Which shows us how our country was not so free at one time.

The reason for this report would be to help others understand the reasoning behind banning books and who it effects. Also learning about our Freedom of speech and understanding or rights as Americans to read and not be censored.
