I am totally against censorship. The kids are going to read the books. You might as well accept that. It is much better to read the books with the kids and discuss them and bring them out in the open and let the kids see how lousy they are.
I am totally against removing books from the shelves because they are unchristian or anti-religious or pornographic. I think we have no right to do that. We do not have to like everything we read. I do not have to approve of all that my grandchildren come home with, but I’d rather talk to them about it than pretend I don’t know it exists.
I once received a newspaper clipping in which ten books were to be removed from the shelves because of their pornographic content, and one of them was A Wind in the Door. Now can anybody enlighten me? Do you know what is pornographic in that book? I haven’t figured it out.
