Huckleberry Finn and The Catcher In The Rye. A Wrinkle In Time, In The Night Kitchen, and The Witches. To Kill A Mockingbird, Flowers for Algernon, Slaughterhouse-Five and Lord of the Flies. Books we loved and still love, books that American parents want to ban from school libraries. The American Library Association Office for Intellectual Freedom has compiled this list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000. The list includes the Harry Potter series and Bridge to Terabithia. The ALA reports that for every challenge reported, at least 4 or 5 go unreported. That’s the way to protect your children: close their minds.

Right. Closing the children’s minds will ensure that they will grow up ignorant, stupid, paranoid, and narrow-minded. Just like their parents.

Maybe some parents are scared. Afraid that if their children get to read decent stuff they wouldnt grow up to the mindless order taking zombies society demands.

Yes. Right. Which is why, growing up, I sneezed a lot rummaging thrift shops for anything with the Grove Press imprint.
