Banning books is a way of saying "we want you to listen to us, we don't want you to be open to different ideas." Education should be about teaching our young people to think critically, and limiting what they have access to in a library is antithetical to that idea.

I agree. But if a child had a certain interest, then they would have access to google search or the local library. I just don’t agree that parents shouldn’t have a say so in their child’s education and the material they are exposed to when they are the ones funding the schools.
