i am against censorship, and own quite a few books that had been banned at one point in time(huck finn, lady chatterlys lover, ulysses, lolita to name a few).
it's scary that a few possibly uneducated, or ignorant-by choice generally- people scream loud enough to drown out the masses and too often get their way. as they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
parents should ultimately have the responsibility regarding what little johnny reads. i don't want someone else telling me what is good for me, or my child, etc. a warning label--maybe. heck, they put them on video games, i guess it's ok on a book-altho i feel unnecessary.
children are far from ignorant, it's a shame some parents treat them as such, or expect them to stay that way!
