Honestly, I bought To Kill A Mockingbird in 7 grademy mom almost took it away from me because it said something about rape on the back cover
she then read the book, realized it was not porn, apoligized and now lets me read whatever I want
I think alot of these banners have never read the books they ban
I'm not dissing I just like The Martinian chronicles better.Where did they get that list?

They are not banned.
I mean, come on, I've read more than half of them- so how can they be bad???
What! my goodness...

They're not banned everywhere. This list is just of the books that people try to ban from specific libraries and schools most often.
Laura Mallory is a good example. She tried (and failed) to have the Harry Potter books banned from Georgian public schools. She never even read the books! I believe that she's even petitioned the Supreme Court.
Sorry but no one knows if Christians banned these thank you very much.
This is a liberal Evolutionisdt view and it never said anything about Christians making the list....Focus on the Family only showed and had an article as in they were talking about not making it.

I used To Kill A Mocking Bird in class.
All focus on the Family said was that AlA is making it a big deal.

Huck Finn has been challenged quite a bit on counts of racism and strong racial language (it uses the n-word 212 times). I'm sure that you don't have to be Christian to see how that may be offensive.
JuniorI live in a conservative Christian community and I never hear about books beening banned.
It seems that the 1% is always the the one's who get stereotypes placed on the majority.

From what I've noticed, most people who try to ban books from libraries are Christian, but (this but is very important...please take notice) the vast majority of Christians are not people who try to ban books from libraries.
I was saying that more to Dragonrider, showing that I'm not claiming that most Christians are like that.
Oh! I read at least 20 of those books.
Lmao, really? That's sad. Most of those books weren't hard

I red JB Jones too. I don't know of anything even questionable in them.
^ ya, that's what my mom was concerned abouton another note, I'm a junior in high school but some kids had to be moved from our AP english to regular english because their parents would not sign the consent form allowing them to read The Scarlet Letter
this is where Christian book reviews get extreme, come on, self relience is another religion Other Belief Systems
Though Mattie and other main characters adhere to Christian beliefs, it could be argued that Mattie's ultimate success in overcoming hardship isn't duly credited to God but to the power of self-reliance and personal strength.
