Examples Of Discipline And Decum In The Library

The first reason The Glass Castle should be banned from all school libraries is the content of language described thoroughly throughout

During the September 1975 conference held by the Parents of New York United (PONYU), the members of the Board of Education of the Island Trees Union Free School District received a list of books that were considered to have objectionable contents. Having learned that 11 of the books were present in the libraries in their high school and junior high school, they created a Book Review Committee to determine the validity of the complaints and to submit recommendations as to the ultimate action regarding the books in question (Brenyo, 2011). Despite

4. When being questioned by Clarisse, She asked me a unique question, “Do you ever read any of the books you burn?(Page 5)”. I of course laughed and said no because its the law!. It would be foolish to read the books anyways, I would be killed! Such a question compromised my job and quite frankly i have no interest in finding what's inside those books but whatever is in them must be bad to be illegal. She must know something I don't know about these “Books”.

The American Library Association, ALA, is an organization that, among other things, compiles a list every year of the most frequently challenged books. “The American Library Association actively defends the right of library users to read, seek information, and speak freely as guaranteed by the First Amendment.” (ALA) Many times, the books on this list are challenged by parents with the want to protect their children from things they don’t believe to be appropriate. “Only parents have the right and responsibility to restrict the access of their children” (ALA) Even with these good intentions, by challenging a book, they are trying to challenge the authors’ thoughts and words, their First Amendment rights. These books usually contain

Once upon a time, in a world not far from here, there are students who are forced to miss their annual train ride to Hogwarts, lock the wardrobe to the magical land of Narnia, and walk through the English countryside themselves instead of upon the back of Black Beauty. Why are these students deprived of those occurrences? They live in America, the land of the free- except when it comes to the books they can read. In fact, many schools across America exercise the practice of banning books. Since 1982, libraries, parents, and schools have attempted to ban 11,300 novels, according to the American Library Association. The essentially innoxious books are challenged for an assortment of reasons, including use of malapropos language, graphic or explicit

The majority of books and other materials selected have been reviewed and recommended by professional librarians or reviewers. The selection is an process, in which librarians look for materials that will provide a broad range of viewpoints and topics. This means that while library collections have thousands of items families want, like and need, they also will have materials that some parents may find offensive to them or inappropriate for their children. Because an item is selected does not mean the librarian accepts or promotes it. He or she is simply helping the library to fulfill its mission of providing information from all points of view. The ALA organization provides a standard in which librarians follow. These standards are sometimes recognized as the librarian bill of rights. these ALA rights state that:

School boards, principals, and teachers have a responsibility for protecting the minds of their students by covering grade and age appropriate material in the classroom. However, does this given responsibility cover the act of banning books from their classrooms? As an advocate for each student, does the teacher not have a duty to introduce the students to a these words issues in order to help the student cope with the different problems in the world? How does a school decide which books should be banned and how much say does the teacher have what should be left up to the teacher? Some say that banning books from the classroom, we prevent them from learning about different controversial topics in a safe and secure environment. In this paper I reflect on my research question: Why do schools ban books in the classroom?

Plaintiffs claimed that constitutionally protected materials were wrongly blocked and that the Loudoun Policy violated their First Amendment rights. The court agreed and found the Loudoun Policy of filtering for all patrons unconstitutional. The court held that there were less restrictive means available to achieve the privacy level demanded by the Loudoun County community than interfering with free speech. Less restrictive, in the court’s opinion, were privacy screens for computer monitors and a certain degree of physical monitoring by library staff.

There is a book out there that talks about a topic that you do not agree with. While you may find the book offensive, others may find it inspiring or a reflection of their life. These varying points of view are what often lead to people calling for a ban of a certain book in a school or public library. This brings to light a topic that impacts all of us in one way or another, censorship in the form of book bans. This leads to a topic that can be the center of debate for many, whether or not we should allow the censorship of books, or other forms of media, in our libraries. And by censoring books, we are referring to taking them off of the shelves. Of course, many people have strong opinions on this. Coincidentally, I also have an opinion. My opinion is that we should not censor books, while making you understand why the idea of censorship in our school and public libraries goes against the fundamental values and freedoms that we hold dearly as citizens of the United States.
