Stop banning books in public high schools

 

To stop banning books in public high schools in Minnesota. Except books that are sexually explicit and book main point

is harmful to others: racist, homophobic, etc…

 

It stops younger student from learning about the difficulties of the world. Many of these banned book involves bad

language, racism, violence, drugs use, etc… But these things happen in the real world and books are a great way to teach

younger students about these topics. These books tech lessons on these topic and how to overcome them. Instead of

blocking this important information from students and then having them enter the world without knowing how to deal with

these problems. They also tech universal themes like your not alone, you should do the right thing no matter what, its

not to late to change for the better, etc… Banned books may have harsh topics but that how the world is, filled with

these difficult issues and these books help younger students prepare for them and to lead them in the right direction.
