General Consensus Among the Students: We Should Ban Banning Books

Today I learned how articulate my students can be. Their Banned Book Projects were due today and they presented a brief synopsis to the class. I was SO PROUD of how they expressed their thoughts, how much research they did in regard to the topic, and the overall interest they demonstrated with their individual books and the process of banning in general.

Their maturity was evident, and because of students like these, such classics as were present on the list certainly are of merit and should not be banned. The students agreed that most of the listed books should be presented as choices and only to upper classmen who are capable of understanding the contexts that surround them.
