Several of the blogs I follow have posted on this but I think it's worth another mention. Please check out these excellent blogs on the subject: Terry's Place and Sierra Godfrey.
To me, the reasons against banning books are self-evident. Freedom of expression and the exchange of ideas must not be controlled or denied. If you disapprove of a book - don't read it. That's your right. If you find it objectionable and don't want you child to read it, don't let him/her. As a parent, that is also your right. But denying others access to that book because of your opinion? Not right.
