Given the diverse reasons behind the censorship of children's literature, no over-arching generalisations can be applied to every censorship case involving a children's book. However, it is thought that censorship can be traced to the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1762, cited in West, 1996). He believed that books contributed to the corruption of children and argued that children should not be taught to read until they reached the age of ten so that their innocence could be protected for as long as possible. It would appear that attitudes have not changed a great deal over the years.

Others have hidden agendas and are motivated by religious beliefs which leads them to call for the censorship of children's books that, in their view, are sinful or are in conflict with their religion; some are motivated by political concerns and some conservatives are overly concerned with 'family values' (p. 680), and some with racist or sexist themes. It is interesting that the religious right in the US want to ban J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books as they believe them to be sinful because Harry is a wizard and deals in magic. This puts fear into the minds of some people and threatens them, even though the character of Harry comes across as a Christian knight who performs heroic deeds and fights evil forces.

"In SL/'s recent survey gauging soft censorship (bit.ly/BxnDZSl), we asked librarians to define the subject matter, if any, that has led them to pass on purchasing a book. "Sexual content" was the leading topic in that regard reported by a large majority, 66 percent, of respondents.

Lawmakers are following suit. In Pennsylvania last month, Representative Barbara Gleim (R-Carlisle) introduced a measure to ban "highly sexual" material from school libraries statewide.

Her 195-word memorandum announcing the measure (bit.ly/3S8NvAN) did nothing to further define problematic content, if only in Gleim's interpretation. So, as with similar legislation proposed to govern library collections, it's difficult to see any of this evolving beyond a hot mess of confusion and even more fear. That may be the point. But at what cost?

Regarding the "problematic" topic at hand alone, restricting kids' access is to deny them a mode to process their feelings and developmental curiosity about a primary aspect of the human experience."
