There is a difference between banning books and restricting access to them.I simply disagree with banning books. If what that kid read in the video was the worst in that book, and I suspect it was, it is not the pornographic filth some are claiming.
I fought against banning Of Mice & Men when I was 20 or so. A group wanted it banned because the word "goddamn" was in it 56 times. I fought against banning Slaughterhouse Five. I fought against banning Huck Finn.
Never have the people banning books been in the right. Not now and not when they wanted to ban comic books when I was a kid.
Children are not allowed in porn shops, are they? The material certainly has not been banned, only some sensible restrictions have been placed on who is allowed to view.
