3,495 | 2 | I believe that certain books, movies, music, and magazines should be taken off the shelves, to those who they are offending.

3,496 | 2 | Dear, Newspaper editor I have recently been faced with a situation that has made me feel rather uncomfortable at my local library, I saw a rather graphic magazine being displayed in front of the entire library.

3,498 | 2 | In a library it's censorship should be conrtolled by the people that go to that library.

3,506 | 2 | I personally think that certain materials that are found offensive should not be removed from shelves.

3,507 | 2 | How can writing be offensive? Many @CAPS1 find swear words in writing or violence to be very offensive. Yet others find that those things make their writing more interesting.

3,516 | 2 | Books are gateways to other worlds. Today there are books on almost any topic anybody could dream of.

3,517 | 2 | Do you think there are certain books and magazines that should not be displayed in librarys? Well here's my perspective.

3,518 | 2 | There are many materials in libraries that are offcensive to certain people.

3,520 | 2 | Censorship being as touchy a subject it is in my belief should be very rarely upheld, yes I believe there should be exceptions such as censoring materials in a childrens library or a childrens section of a bigger library, but to censor is to take ones freedom of speech, and expression away from them and is by my standa... | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
3,521 | 2 | If materials are offensive they should not be displayed. Offensive materials can have big effects on children younger than at least ten years of age. I believe that if materials at a library are found offensive and proved to be offensive, then they should be removed. Materials at libraries are not for everyone. A l... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |
3,522 | 2 | People have different opinions what one @MONTH1 find extremely offensive another @MONTH1 not care or even laugh at it.

3,523 | 2 | Does it ever come to mind when your child says they're going to the library to study, but in reality they could be going there to find books about murder, violence, or possibly helpful information. @DATE1 when searching through the library you never know what @CAPS3 will find on the shelves. Most of the topics of books... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,524 | 2 | Who is to label a book offensive? What one might find appauling, others @MONTH1 find a novel or passage to be rather interesting.

3,526 | 2 | Do you think that certain books, music, magazines are sometimes found very offensive? If I had kids I wouldnt want my kids to be around any of these bad things.

3,527 | 2 | There are plenty of books that people don't want their children reading. Books such as '@CAPS1 @CAPS2 @PERSON1' is a book I had read and it was very out there and straight forward.

3,531 | 2 | One @MONTH1 walk into a library, look over at a magzine rack and think, '@CAPS1 is that in the young adult section, the content of that book is not age appropriate?'

3,532 | 2 | This essay is to describe my opinion on if certain materials that can be offensive, should be removed from shelves in libraries.

3,533 | 2 | Should books, music, movies, and magazines that are offensive to public be removed? No, I strongly disagree.

3,534 | 2 | No, I don't think that books or any other material should be taken off shelves in libraries just because some people might find them offensive.

3,535 | 2 | Censorship in libraries is an inportant thing in schools and in the public.

3,539 | 2 | Author Katherine Paterson proclaims, 'All of us can think of a book that we hope none of our children have taken off the shelf.

3,540 | 2 | Censorship is a law and it is commonly broken. You cannot censor any books, movies, music, or magazines. The law of censorship is usually broken in libraries.

3,542 | 2 | I think censorship in libraries is wrong. Books, movies, and magazines are ment to inlighten, inform, and entertain the reads. If you find something offensive in the book, movie, or even the magazine doesn't mean the next person will. If you don't want your child reading or watching those things, then limit what they w... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,543 | 2 | In Katherine Paterson's writing she tells us that she does not want her child to pick up a book off the shelf that could be found offensive.

If my child were to pick up a ... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
3,544 | 2 | There are some movies,books,music,etc that @MONTH1 be found offensive toward some people.I feel that if you are at the appropriate age for a type of literature you should be able to observe it.If you read a book and you find it offensive,then you shouldn't have read the book.Books,music,and movies are ma... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 |

3,546 | 2 | To whom it @MONTH1 concern; As a student, I find myself reading frequently: at home, at school, in the library, in the car, basically any place I can get my hands on a novel.

3,551 | 2 | In my opinion, I do not believe that anyone has a choice in what children or any other age group chooses to read. It is not up to the general public to say what is right or wrong. When society says that every single child is not allowed to read a certain book, or listen to a certain song just because it is found offen... | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,552 | 2 | Take it @CAPS1? How do you take it when people come out with magazines, movies, or music that is extremely offensive to you?

3,557 | 2 | What do I think about library censorship? I believe that there should be some censorship, but not too much censorship.

3,568 | 2 | I do not believe that censorship should be an option for people that find a book, magazine, or movie offensive. I believe that if a person decides to take a book off the shelf because he/she is offended, they are obviously paranoid. If a few cuss words are found in a book and a person doesn't want their children to rea... | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |
3,569 | 2 | Censorship. Sometimes it's needed, sometimes it's not. Children of today are exposed to many adult things, whether it is watching tv or a movie, or just witnessing things at home.

3,570 | 2 | Each book in a library bears its own relation to each person that enters that library. Whether the books relate well or poorly to each person is not something for a mass of people to decide. Every person has a different outlook on what makes a story interesting. There will not ever be a book that every human being a... | 6 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
