Absoultely Not!! Very often books are the only way some children are introduced to different societies, cultures, and nations. Books make us think, and feel things that had not occured to us before. Books can show us were we have been, were we are, and were we are headed. To ban any book is something that should make us feel ashamed. It is just wrong!!!
We need to teach our children how to make good selections when picking books to read. If books are banned how do children learn to make choices??
NO, NO, and again I say NO!!!!!

I agree to a certain point, first of all "sexual suggestive books"--YES--to a point, that is based on age, and content of the book....not for little kids---profanity--yes--to a point, depends , on the book, and the age of the child....They hear worse on the "school bus"
I feel that books with sexual suggestions and profanity should be banned from our schools. Kids today have more exposer to these situations by internet and tv...why should we condon them in our schools by putting these type of books in the library?
You are right. Not only books pose a potential danger to our children, it's also the internet and the television. And I treat them the same way I do for books.
Good point. If we shield children of the "bad" things with no explanations as to why, then they may grow up and get into the very same things we were protecting them from.
