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. ]]> 2020-10-28 16:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/870254857 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876434903 The novel was banned due to foul language, violence and also racism that was portrayed. ]]> 2020-10-30 14:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876434903 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876435309 Captain Underpants series was banned in some schools for insensitivity and being unsuited to the age group.

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. ]]> 2020-10-30 14:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876437173 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876463553 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.]]> 2020-10-30 14:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876463553 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876471756 this book was banned due to it being too scary and graphic for little children ]]> 2020-10-30 14:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876471756 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876483221 The Hunger Games was first banned from a school in 2011 when a mother complained it gave her child nightmares and by banning it, it would numb children to the effects of violence ]]> 2020-10-30 14:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876483221 21sjackson https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876488786 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.

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. ]]> 2020-10-30 14:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876508604 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876511539 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. ]]> 2020-10-30 14:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876511539 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876512562 Tricks was banned in a place called Idaho Town because her books were said to be "novel tricks" goes against religion type base and in the town and soon to be others they didn't want that.

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.

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.]]> 2020-10-30 14:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876532854 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/pdh2iifj0sbmb9s7/wish/876536022 In 2017, The walking dead book was first banned from a School district in Idaho because of its graphic imagery.

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.
