It's Banned Book Week

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.
