2,996 | 2 | If the people that are publishing and writing these articles in these magazines then yes, they can feel offensive about the @CAPS7 things inside the magazine or books.

2,997 | 2 | I think that all the bad books should be taken out of a library. All the bad books, music, magazines and movies no one really wants to read.

3,000 | 2 | Hello, my name is @CAPS1, I feel that there should be any genre of media in libraries. If they call it a 'media center,' then why censor any media. People know to read the back of a book to see if they want it, so if they see something they don't like they are able to put it back on the shelf. People say The @CAPS2 ... | 2 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
3,001 | 2 | Books Removed From Shelves? 'All of us can think of a book that we hope none of our children or any other children have taken off the chelf.

3,002 | 2 | I think almost every movie might offend someone in some way, So if your wanting to take every movie off the shelf then go ahead. Everyone has different taste in movies, music, books, etc. If the music offends you, don't listen to @CAPS2. If a book does, don't read @CAPS2. Its as simple as that. So I don't think they sh... | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 |

3,004 | 2 | People are entitile to their own oppinion about things. What someone might find offensive someone else might not.

3,005 | 2 | I think if people find books offensive they should not even read that book to begin with. If books are found offensive and taken from shelves then book shelves would be emtpy.

3,006 | 2 | A book is more than words or happenings; they're adventures and stories that travel from one person to another.

3,008 | 2 | I absolutely do not think that any book, movie, magazine, music, etc., should be removed from the shelf because they find it offensive.

3,009 | 2 | Books, music, movies, magazines, etc. should not be removed from certain library shelves because people have enough sense on what they are interested in and what they are not interested in.

3,016 | 2 | One essential right that every man, woman, or child should have is the freedom of speech. Without this right no one would be able to express their views.

3,017 | 2 | Writing is a way to express one's thoughts and ideas on a page. In this country, an author can write freely about whatever he desires and he is not subject to penalty for doing so.

3,019 | 2 | From many thoughts and arguments people disagree with the school libraries.

3,021 | 2 | In this millenium we really should'nt be to concerned about censorhip. People say so way worse in puplic and do worse things in public.

Its the parents fault if their child gets a... | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,022 | 2 | Libraries, to myself, are a gateway to another world; where I can be who I want to be, and let my imagination wander where ever it pleases. Libraries should not have the ability to take a book off the shelves depending on it's content. We are all different people, we all don't enjoy the same kind of books. Also, some b... | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 5 |
3,023 | 2 | Book @CAPS1 @CAPS2 I think about removing certain materials such as books, music, movies, and-or magazines is that it should be your choice.

3,024 | 2 | Libraries are our way of knowing what has happened in the past whether it is all fact or maybe fiction.

3,025 | 2 | I belive certain materials, such as books, music, movies, magazines, etc., should never be removed from libraries because even if offensive people still have the right to acess that information.

3,026 | 2 | Have you ever been offended? Did you lash out, or did you keep an open mind and come try understanding? People are offended by many things every day in life.

3,032 | 2 | In my opinion, books, movies, magazines, ect., should not be taken off the shelves if they are offensive to some people. this is because everyone has different views on everything.

3,033 | 2 | Why should we be more carefull of what we get at the libary? Libaries can have books with knowledge, fun, rommance, and action or adventure, but some can be desterbing and grusium. Kids a lot of times will pick books that have pornagerfy or grusium action. This causes the kids to act in different ways. They act hyper a... | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 |

3,037 | 2 | When you were a child how much did you learn from books? Books are filled with great stories of far-away lands, accounts of real events, and poems with powerful meanings.

3,038 | 2 | Books that are offensive should not be taken off the shelf all together, but should be put in a section made for adult readers only. This way no children would see the book anyway.

3,039 | 2 | I think that everyones opinion is different about some books getting removed from the library. Do I believe that certian books should be removed from the library: yes and no.

3,040 | 2 | Should censorship be used on library books?

3,042 | 2 | I @CAPS1'@CAPS2 think that books should be censored. There are no books, besides maybe math books, that @CAPS1'@CAPS2 offend at least one person or a group of people.

3,043 | 2 | This is what's wrong with today's society. We are too soft.We're too worried about what other people might think if we say this or do that.

3,046 | 2 | I belive if the books, music, movies, magazines and etc. are offensive and are bad that they should be removed, the reason being is because of younger children.

Every mind that is among the world is extremely different, just as every book is. One person @MONTH1 look upon a certain subject as offensive, while others @MONTH1 not have the same point of view. Howeve... | 4 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,076 | 2 | Yes, I believe that libraries should remove certain materials from the book shelves if they are found offensive to someone. First of all a oerson doesn't go to the library to get offended. Also if the liberian should know whats appropiate for the library. And items like the ones who offend people should not even be in ... | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
3,077 | 2 | It seems you cannot always make everyone happy. No matter what, someone is offended or upset over something. This holds true with everything- including media. Whether it be a book, movie, or a song, someone somewhere will be unhappy with it for some reason. Though this is true, it certainly does not mean you can take t... | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 |
3,078 | 2 | Do you believe that certain materials, such as books, movies, magazines, etc ...,should be removed from the shelves if they are found offensive? Most of the people made books that are inapropiate or offensive and sometimes are the life of the person or some experience that they have live. But the problem is that a lo... | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
3,079 | 2 | I think that books, music, movies, magazines, and etc. should be aloud to stay on the shelves of stores and libraries. We have to ask our selves these questions. Why should we take them out of libraries? What would people have to read when those books tell us about what went on in the early days, such as slavery, autom... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,080 | 2 | I've recently read a letter from Katherine Paterson about censorship in libraries. This is my opinion expressed in words about how I feel about the whole topic. I've been reading ever since I hit first grade. To be honest, I couldn't tell you the names of @PERCENT1 of them because... well I just can't remember them... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,081 | 2 | What do you want your child being exposed to? In my own opinion I believe that @CAPS1 shouldn't be taken off the shelfs, because kids know what books are appropriate and innappropriate for them. This @CAPS2 why the library has @CAPS3 'kids' selction away from the 'adult' selction. They know their boundaries, and I d... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
3,082 | 2 | NEWSPAPER @CAPS1 today im going to tell you what I think on offensive materials in libraries.Offensive materials such as books,magazines,music,movies are found in libraries to some people.But to others they can think its perfectly ok to have in a public place.Thinking somethings offensive is just an opinion and eve... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,083 | 2 | Do you believe that certain things need to be taken off the shelf that's uncensored for my children to see.No, I honestly do not because the library shouldn't have no uncensored things put up on the shelves that our children might not see.Cause the staff shouldn't let the children in that area without a parent were the... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
3,084 | 2 | Do you believe certain books should be removed from the shelf because they are offensive? From my point of view yes, because libraries are public which means they are open to any and everyone. Kids could see a photo that @MONTH1 not be appropriate for them, people of different religion could hear foul language, and it ... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
3,085 | 2 | I beleive that certian things such as books, movies, music, magazines, etc., should and shouldn't be taken off of the shelf. The reason i think that they should stay on the shelf is because it might interest some of the people that read them. If people don't like them, or they think that it is offensive, they shouldn'... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
3,086 | 2 | Yes, I think that some books should be taken out of all libraries. No little kid should be looking at or saying those things. Some of the books could offend some people when they don't know it. Parents need to watch what there kids read and watch on a daily basis. Kids need to know why they shouldn't watch those s... | 3 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 |

MANY LIBRARIES @MONTH1 POSSESS ON THEIR SHELVES BOOKS AND MAGAZINES... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
3,088 | 2 | I believe libraries should have all types of books, music, movies, and magazines. I believe if libraries had limited things that alot of people would not come to the library. For example, if I wanted to get a certain book for school and the library does not have it i don't no were else I would go. The library should ha... | 4 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
3,089 | 2 | We've all heard the songs on the radio that are censored by constant beeps because of bad words, and we've all seen @ORGANIZATION1 shows and movies that are the same way. Books and magazines are censored the same way by either blocking out the offensive language or replacing the letters with astrics. Numerous amount... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,090 | 2 | They were talking about thinking of a book that no one should take off the shelf. But if the author had the right to remove the book from the shelf - that work I abhor, then everyone else should have the same right to remove the book from the shelf. But then, they would have no books left on the book shelf for any of t... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
3,091 | 2 | The way that the books, musics ,ect. are made for people basicly for that age group.

3,093 | 2 | If I owned or worked at a librarie, I would have books, music, movies and magazines that to many people are offensive. But I would not have the offensive books, music, movies, and magazines in the childrens area of the librarie.But I would have them in the adult area. @CAPS5 I would keep that type of books, mus... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
3,094 | 2 | Books, music, movies, and much more, being removed off of the self because no one liked them and find some of them offensive does not not mean to get rid of them. Many enjoy them, and could use them for shool research or topics for a class. First of all I know for a fact that some of the music my friends and I lis... | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
