censorship

I am siding with the left mostly. I'm totally for reading whatever is written out there, if someone doesn't want their child reading a certain book, then they are robbing that child of personal thought. I understand the innocence thing, but if you live in America and go to school, you're gonna know what sex is by the age of 12, it's just how it is. Reading a book shouldn't change your opinion of sex or drugs or whatever if you're family at home is teaching you otherwise. If anything it should just make a child more knowledgable about a topic so that they can defend their side of it if needed. You have to know the facts if you want to be an accomplished person in society. The thing I don't agree with is fairy tales being banned, come on! Maybe they are sexist, but they are fantasy. Every little girl dreams of being a princess and being saved by her prince. Women have been fighting for rights for years, but I don't know one girl who's really offended by Snow Whites kiss of life.

How can you ban a book about an old woman who likes to put things on her bike?? I see nothing wrong with this!! What is this world coming to?

Down’s syndrome
