This novel was originally banned in Russia by Joseph Stalin for having anti-communist views. Later, it was challenged in the US for being pro-communist. Other reasons include violence and sexually charged language. Orwell wrote the novel as a warning to never fully trust that the government has its people's best interest in mind.

To Kill a Mockingbird was banned in some schools for themes of rape and use of racial slurs and profanity. In 1966 the school board of Hanover County, Va banned the book for being “immoral literature.” Some free speech groups are advocating for the restoration of the book. I disagree with the decision to ban the book because it has important lessons against racism and teaches important life lessons.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower was banned in 2008 because of the language, sexual content, and the themes of drug abuse and sexual assault. I don't think the book should have been banned because despite the controversial topics, the plot of the book is really good and has a good message behind it. As long as the reader is mature enough to handle the book, it should be allowed.

The Hate U Give was banned in late 2017 by school officials in Katy, Texas. It was challenged for "inappropriate language" and drug use. I disagree with why the book was challenged because the book also shows police brutality and things that teens should know about.

This book was banned because it was placed on a "hit list" of "evil books" by a Baptist group many years ago, and it was placed on that list for no other reason than that I'm a Mormon, and therefore no children should be reading a book by me. This book was first banned in 2014.

In 2017, The walking dead book was first banned from a School district in Idaho because of its graphic imagery. Then, people started to research more into and officially banned it.

The book Thirteen reasons why was banned because a school claimed it glamorized suicide. Parents and staff were scared it wold start a series of suicide related activity in their community. The 2007 banned book since is now not allowed in schools. I agree with banning this book because ive seen the show and it dse glorify suiside and the attention that it seaks.

The Bone Series of graphic novels was banned because many parents in 2013 of various districts believed that it was unsuited for the age group it was made for. The images and plot were believed to be too upsetting for children. I don't believe that this series is too mature or freighting for children because I remember reading and liking this series when I was younger. I think it shouldn't be the libraries or authors problem if a parent thinks the book isn't for their kid.

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the most challenging books to read. It is a challenge to read because because of its racial slurs and constant theme of rape. It was banned because of multiple complaints.

George was banned because the main character is transgender and it was challenged in 2017 by elementary schools that didn't think it was "appropriate" for students to think about sexuality at elementary levels. It was also up for debate for being banned because it "conflicts with religious views". I personally think religion should have absolutely nothing to do with what is taught inside of a classroom and that this book should not only not be banned, but should be offered at every level of education for students to have a better understanding of others.

At the end of the 2019 school year, the Wallace School District in Silverton, Idaho, banned The Walking Dead over concerns about “graphic imagery.” I understand why they banned it, but I don't think that is should be banned. As I have watched the show, it can get gory, so I believe it should be an advisement, rather than a ban. If high school students want to read it, why should they not be able to. If they can't handle it, they would typically put the book down and stop.
