3,997 | 2 | If content in a library is considered offensive, @CAPS1 should still remain on the shelf regardless.

4,012 | 2 | My views on censorship in libraries are alike in many different ways. Certain materials, such as books, music, movies, and magazines should be removed from libraries if they are found offensive to more than just one person. If they are not that big of a problem they shouldn't be removed. People might change ... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
4,013 | 2 | I believe that there should be censorship in public libraries. Libraries have families and young children going to them that do not need to see, hear, and read certain things.

4,017 | 2 | There are two things that i would have to say about removing books off of a library's shelf.

4,018 | 2 | Conflicting works of art such as books, music, and movies, have always been seen in libraries. Whether it's @CAPS1 or @CAPS2 @CAPS3 @NUM1, someone is going to be offended.

4,022 | 2 | Everywhere I go, there always seems to be something, small or big, that can be considered offensive. Because of these offensive things, there is often censorship in public places. It is acceptable to view non-noncensored materials at your own disgression and privacy, but not very acceptable to do so in public. I believ... | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
4,023 | 2 | In my experience some music is just too offensive. They use words that should not be heard by certain people and especially certain ages. Even the magazines have things that are just way too inappropriate for some people. Some of the movies they put out these days are just horrifying to see. The fact that they put t... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 |

4,027 | 2 | I think certain books such as offensive books shouldn't be remove. I dont think so because that's how some kids learn better and read better. Kid's dont like reading boring books. Things like music, movies, and magazines are interesting to us. If this world didn't have movies kids wouldn't read books. Most of thes... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
4,028 | 2 | When @LOCATION2 was made and our fore fathers signed the constituition of the @LOCATION1, freedom was the big kahuna.

Also I have had an arguement once with ... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
4,031 | 2 | I dont thank so due to the fact that most libraries in towns and cities are open to the public. if the person or persons find the peice of material offending then they should pass the item. or they can skim over it. on the other hand the person or persons does have the right to freedom of speech but should not excee... | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
4,032 | 2 | I think people read more books that are banned from schools and libraries, they listen to 'rebel' music, or they just watch controvesial movies, so is censoring really effective? I do not think censoring is really necessary. If you think a subject might be offensive for you, you should not read it. instead of censorin... | 4 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
4,033 | 2 | As @CAPS1, we are entitled to both freedom of speech and freedom of the press. However, these rights are somewhat suppressed in the censorship of media at libraries. I can understand why libraries feel that they need to ban certain works; there are many children that frequent libraries, and having explicit content... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 5 |
4,034 | 2 | I believe certain materails such like books, music, movies, and magazines are offensive and are inappropiate. Why I believe @CAPS1 is because there are things that are in these items that hurt people in many ways. But when the people make and read these items they dont know how effective it is to the people that a... | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,035 | 2 | Readers of the @ORGANIZATION1, Censorship in libraries should never be an issue. It is a very simple concept.

I feel as a student that there are so many people in the world that by the time everyone i... | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,038 | 2 | There are too many people in the world to just have one opinion about one topic and nothing else. If a person knows something is unjust, they obviously have to tell the world about it, or they feel like their opinion does not matter. Take, for example, women's clothing. If you show a man a piece of women's clothing on ... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,039 | 2 | Ever went to the library and seen a book that was to graphic for a certain section. When little kids came into the library does it seem like they should stay away from that section.

4,040 | 2 | Books have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years. They have significent value in culture, lives, and everything else.

4,042 | 2 | The material we read in books are sometimes offensive. Books that are offensive should be supervised as to who gets to view them.

I also believe that Censorship is a good thing sometimes The material we find in books is not as much of a pr... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,043 | 2 | One book or movie doesn't make a difference in the huge library full of books and movies. Thats why the books, magazines, or movies shouldn't be removed from the book shelf of the library.

4,045 | 2 | Most people consider libraries an unharmful place. However it's often found that some libraries have offensive books as well as magazines on it's shelves.

4,046 | 2 | Do you want your children to have bad images in their head? Does everybody deserve to read or watch anything they want?

4,047 | 2 | As the Katherine Paterson's quote states everyone in fact has the right to take books, movies, magazines and other items off the shelves if deemed offensive or inappropriate.

4,048 | 2 | The topic of library censoring has been increasing over the past few years. It has been discussed by many people, but a decision has never been reached.

4,049 | 2 | I do not believe that such things as book, music, movies, magazines,etc., should be removed from libraries.

4,053 | 2 | Coming from a teenager, @CAPS1 offensive books, magazines and movies should be removed from a local library. A library is a place to go relax and read.

4,057 | 2 | I think that we should have offensive materials on the shelfs in libraries.
