I'm not doing any special posts this week; I looked into why some specific children's books were challenged and posted about it on the weekly Tuesday Thingers question. *Rebecca's Reads* has a great post about book banning, and lists 4 scenarios, asking if it's banning/censorship. As a parent, I can control what my younger children are exposed to (but would never attempt to "ban" a book from the public library!); my older kids are free to read what interests them ... sometimes I can take the themes of these books as a starting point for conversation.<BR/><BR/>Welcome back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-54502809064342074022008-10-01T07:28:00.000-07:002008-10-01T07:28:00.000-07:00I've posted a list of the most commonly challenged...I've posted a list of the most commonly challenged books at <A HREF="http://bookwormom.blogspot.com/2008/09/banned-book-week-2008-pt-2.html" REL="nofollow">Bookwormom</A>Bob & Muffintophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517851052183148808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-30101773270094588362008-10-01T05:31:00.000-07:002008-10-01T05:31:00.000-07:00I totally agree with you in that the glory is the ...I totally agree with you in that the glory is the fact that we are able to choose. I wouldn't necessarily choose to read the same things as you but isn't it great that we live in a society where we can choose to read different things and choose to come together and talk about the differences in our opinions. How much more broadening is that exchange of opinions than having that choice restricted to one that is approved by one sole, arbitrary perspective. It is a wonderful gift!Klarusuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267089587614619782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-75690945488374338882008-09-30T16:06:00.000-07:002008-09-30T16:06:00.000-07:00I'm posting a highlight of a different challenged/...I'm posting a highlight of a different challenged/banned book each day this week.
