http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_commonly_challenged_books_in_the_United_States
I've been looking through this list and I'm baffled at about half of these options. My 2 main issues with the list is that A. a lot of those books aren't meant for kids, a child can still get a hold of it but I doubt a kid is going to be interested in 1984. The second issue is that some of these choices are just beyond stupid for censoring (Bridge to Terabithia, Captain Underpants, Harry Potter, A light in the attic, and Goosebumps are some of the more shocking choices) what are the problems with these books? I've also heard people trying to ban twilight because it has vampires and werewolves in it. Can someone provide some insight on this?
