Any book censorship is not acceptable to me. Even the worst political books need to be read and understood, so that we ‘know the enemy’!
Best wishes, Pete.

Harry Potter has been a target since the first book was published here. Didn’t you know the series promotes witchcraft and satanism?😱

“Characters that use “nefarious means” to attain their goals” LOL really? I know Harry Potter has been discussed for a long time but that is absurd. It also makes me sad to see so many wonderful LGBT books censored in local libraries 🙁. Thank you so much for sharing this! No book should be censored… how else can we learn and make our own opinions?

I finally read My Sister’s Keeper during Banned Books Week. I can’t believe all the various reasons cited for banning it over the years.
