LMAO...I just look through the list of banned books and their reasons. I have no words. I'm in tears laughing that they banned Where's Waldo. It's ok to have topless women on commercials, magazines, and every beach in europe, but a tiny little imagine in Where's Waldo. Who the hell found that anyway?

I want to read every book on that list for no reason other than someone tried to ban it.

I also wanted to add, regarding the banning of sleeping beauty, I do believe it could be a religious issue. A friend of mine refuses to let her daughter watch anything with fairies, witches, or magic. She thinks it will lead to witchcraft and evil.

I'm just so amazed at this list of banned/attacked books. I had no idea. My mother never banned anything from us, as long as we were reading and not in front of the TV she didn't care. She figured it we could get it at the local library it must be ok. I can't imagine ever banning a book from my daughter, and this list IS shocking. Some of those were mandatory reading in my highschool.

I completely understand religion banning books, religion in my opinion is completely fear based, but it will be a huge issue for me if my daughter's school tries to ban students from reading a book. The older my child gets the more I realize the schools are not educating but creating armies of zombies. I find it shocking that in today's society is still trying to ban certain books, yet they will allow people to pay money to see in movies or mangazines what they will not allow them to read.
