Read Banned Books!

At school we have put up a display with books which are (or have been) banned in different places, in the hope that our teen students will decide to go against the grain and read some of them (in fact, some of them are compulsory reads in different subjects).
Sadly, the list is really really long, we just chose some we had available in the school library. And reading the list makes you wonder who in their right mind can ban some masterpieces of literature, and which criteria they follow... Why did someone decide that "Where's Waldo?" is dangerous enough to be banned?

What a great initiative.

I have understood banning books. People should be free to make their own decisions

[Carole Sandford]

Generally banning something tends to make people more interested in it.

Great to see this; I am appalled at the recent rise in banning books.

That is so interesting, Monica.

An interesting display. Over the years there have been some strange choices of books to ban.

Brave New World was compulsory reading when I was in high school over 50 years ago.

@ljmanning @bkbinthecity @carole_sandford @amyk @mittens @fishers Thanks a lot for your nice comments!
@merrelyn It is also compulsory for my 17-year-old pupils! (and most of them enjoy it)
