Banned Books Week: Challenge or Banned?


Challenged or Banned?

"A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials. Challenges do no simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove materials from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others. Due to the commitment of librarians, teachers, parenets, students, and other concerned citizens, most challenges ore unsuccessful and most materials are retained in the school curriculum or library collection." - ALA Banned Books Week
