By --Deb on

In contrast to last week’s question–What do you think of censoring books BECAUSE of their intended age? Say, books too “old” for your kids to read?

    Ah, another question that makes me ponder…Here’s MY THURSDAY MEMES POST

    My post’s up. In short, I highly disagree with censorship, but I believe in there being ratings for all to use as a guide, whatever their purpose is in using said guidance…

    I am struggling with how much to share on this question because, as a teacher, I must negotiate competing parental views on this issue. If you’d be interested in hearing an English teacher’s POV on this, would you stop by and leave a comment on my blogpost “Three Questions” today? I’ll take the risk to post a response if there’s interest…http://whatsheread.blogspot.com/

    There are some things I don’t think kids should read, but I don’t see any way to have any kind of censorship without giving too much power to the crazies who don’t want kids to read about gay parents, etc. So I say, no censorship.
