Banned Books
Learning about a wide range of information and perspectives through access to books is generally considered an inherent characteristic of the educational system. However, debates around banning books suggest that there are potential downsides to giving young people access to certain literature, particularly books with violent or sexual content. This volume considers both sides of the debate, with arguments supporting students’ right to access literature free from censorship and other viewpoints supporting the right of parents and teachers to choose which books should play a role in students’ education. This title also looks at the historical, legal, and cultural contexts for this timely debate.
