I applaud your parents and any adults who help kids explore ideas, other cultures, things outside the comfort zone. It's how we all grow.Tricia J.

I just read all the books I could find and had my own personal thoughts. It wasn't until I heard of people banning Harry Potter because of "witchcraft" that I really started to pay attention.<br /><br />I don't know if I have a favorite banned book...partially because getting a complete of all the books that have ever been banned anywhere is impossible.Alexandra Shostakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11517091878608894496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791084360727373309.post-16652965149842987332011-09-28T11:31:13.810-05:002011-09-28T11:31:13.810-05:00Totally agree with you.
