3,395 | 2 | The Author should be the judge on whether or not they want there book censored. I believe that libraries shouldnt have to take out books with offensive language. If the author likes how it was originally made, then thats how they would like to present it. It would be taking away a Right in the @CAPS1. If you were to wr... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |

3,397 | 2 | One person's strong negative opinion effects everyone else. That doesn't seem logical or fair. A library is a sanctuary for people to go read their favorite books for free, containing books from all types of genres. There is a book for everyone in the library; it's a matter of finding it. Therefore, finding a book ... | 3 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 |
3,398 | 2 | Do you feel that some material should just not be allowed in libraries? Censorship in libraries are a touchy subject.

3,399 | 2 | Libraries should not remove a book from the shelves just because someone didn't like it or finds it offensive. If there is a group of people that are interested in a book and want to read it more then once they will like telling a new person about it. Then if another student has decided they don't like the book and the... | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 |

3,401 | 2 | I do not think books , music, movies, magazines etc... should be removed because they are offensive. There are books movies and music that offend everyone if we took them all away we would have nothing. Theres no reason for all that. Thats why i say we do not take away offensive materials. First, if we took away al... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
3,402 | 2 | In the world, there are just some things that our children should not be exposed to.

3,405 | 2 | We see them. We read them. We gossip about them. Books that are found with inapropriate language, pages with the word 'sex' on them, disturbing thoughts and ideas, cuss words, its all there, but yet they are still in our libraries. My views on censorship is that, yes, our libraries should be more modest and not have bo... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,406 | 2 | Offensive literature, sexual content, disagreeable topics. Books all have those things to someone some where. It would be impossible to get rid of all of the books that offended everyone and still have books left. There are many reasons why censorship is pointless and wrong. Censorship only causes curiosity. Censoring ... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |

3,411 | 2 | I belive that certain materials such as books, movies, magazines, etc. should be removed from public libraries. What if a young child were to stumble across an innapropriate magazine..

3,413 | 2 | I don't think nothing should be taking off the shelves at the libraries, if it's educational to your child in a certain way it should stay.

3,414 | 2 | Certain materials, such as books, music, movies, or magazines, do not need to be removed from the shelves in libraries if they are found offensive.

3,416 | 2 | I think that there are some books out there that really do need to be taken on the library shelves and just be put in book stores for ones own useage. Then there are other books that people just need to be more mature about like history books talking about wars, slavrey and books with curse words in them. School l... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |

3,424 | 2 | Regardless of if we are speaking of the religous demanding books such as the @CAPS1 @CAPS2 series to be ripped from our shelves or @CAPS3 wanting to burn the @LOCATION1, books can always bring about controversy. In this country we are given the rights to freedom of speech and press, so why can anyone demand that a book... | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,425 | 2 | I believe everyone has their own choice when it comes to taking a book off a shelf. You should know what your picking up. If you think it might be offensive to you, then set it back on the shelf. It's as easy as that. Taking offensive articles off shevles of libraries just because a couple of people are unhappy ruins e... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 5 |
3,426 | 2 | I think that we should censor things our children read and look at in the libraries.They are young eyes and they are to young to be looking at that stuff.They would be taught the wrong thing at a very young age.They would grow up the wrong way.We need to take a stand on what are kids look at.Fr the future we need censo... | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
3,427 | 2 | Do I think we should have to take books off of shelves? No we should not have to take certain things off of library shelves. Think of it in your own perspective.

3,428 | 2 | First comes censorship along with its totalitarian prowess, second comes the downfall of humanity. We have all seen the horrors of totalitarianism over time.

3,429 | 2 | Dear @CAPS1 @CAPS2, I think that if a book is on a shelf the book should be taken off if found offensive. People at libraries fight over a book. They need to have more than one copy of a book if they fight over one book. If the library dosen't have more than one copy of a book it will create a lot of prolums f... | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
3,430 | 2 | What do you consider an offensive book? Everyone has their own personal opinion on what they think is offensive. So how can you justify that a book, magizine, movie, music, etc. should be removed from a shelf due to content. Of course there are the ones that most people would aggree that are offensive to young kids and... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
3,431 | 2 | Every book has a meaning or message that all should know about. Taking a book away from a library shelf can decrease of knowledge from someone that might need that information.

3,436 | 2 | I think that books, music, movies, and magazines should not have to be removed from shelves of libraries. People find entertainment to movies with sexual or violent activity in them.

3,439 | 2 | I think that most books, magazines or any kind of reading material that has offensive stuff to people are ok. Many people needs to read them and see what they are about.

3,443 | 2 | Censorship or not? That is the question. Many people @MONTH1 not realize it, but what they read and watch greatly affects them. If children watch a scary movie, then nightmares seem to occur more often. If teens read a book where parties seem cool and bad things are glorified, they too start to see bad as good. What i... | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,444 | 2 | I do not believe that movies, books, music, etc. should be removed from shelves.

3,446 | 2 | The quote that Katherine Paterson declairs a very strong point and is completely true in my eyes.

3,451 | 2 | The library is a public area where anyone can visit to find a book, movie, or magazine of their desire. Not everyone is interested in the same book genre.

3,481 | 2 | Many books in libraries have profanity, it just depends on how you read and anazlyze the profanity. To some people the strong words help the reader get the point across their head.

3,482 | 2 | All libraries have books for all readers no matter the age. The books on the shelf are arranged or should be arranged in alphabetical order with the last name of the author first.

3,486 | 2 | I believe that in libraries certain materials should not be removed from the shelves even if it is offensive because if someone does not like that particular item they could always go and get another item.

3,487 | 2 | Everything is offensive to someone. There is no way to make sure nobody is offended unless you have nothing to offend anybody at all.

It is one of the gratest books ever written, but it was... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

3,491 | 2 | I personally dont think there should be any censorship in books coming into a @CAPS1. I think its wrong to do so, because any book should be read know matter what is said in it.
