4,099 | 2 | Libraries are community centers. Children and adults go to libraries to check out new books that could give them new experiences and information. If libraries took out books because they were inappropriate or offensive, then young adults and adults would never recieve those new experiences. Libraries require all sorts ... | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 |

4,101 | 2 | Throughout history there have been many books written at a time in history when their beliefs on certain things differed from what our world today believes. Things that have changed as our world has changed are the views on slavery, womens rights, religion, and many other things. These views are based on what most peop... | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,102 | 2 | I believe that the children of today should be able to read, and learn the same things that our parents have learned in the past. Learning things through the same teachings, books, movies... etc. Learning things this way would be better then taking out cussing, swaring and certain detailed writing, because if you ... | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,103 | 2 | Libraries contain many helpful and entertaining materials for people of all ages. Some @MONTH1 argue that a library holds documents that are offensive and should not be put on the shelf, but I beg to differ. A library holds many books, magazines, movies, etc. that can advance the knowledge of citizens. Libraries c... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,104 | 2 | There are thousands of books in libraries now a days, some are from @NUM1 years ago. Books are books, and anyone at any age should be able to remove any type of book off of a shelf. Books, music, movies and magazines are all mad to interest people and what they enjoy reading. Authors and publishers should not be pental... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
4,105 | 2 | Censorship, only for the light hearted. We have had this issue for as long as man can remeber. Since we were only little kids to adults. Everything was censored. Bleeps on the television to hide harmless words to random letters in curse words as if we did not know for example what @NUM1k spelt. I agree, censorship... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |

4,107 | 2 | The libraries have to worrie about enough as it is with people not retuning books and stuff in.

4,108 | 2 | Dear @ORGANIZATION1, @CAPS1 I was growing up in my small little neighborhood, life could not have been more simple. For children, life is eating, sleeping, playing, and laughing. Their innocent minds do not ponder the meanings of life or of love, but curiosity does grab every child now and then. With a stubborn ... | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
4,109 | 2 | There are many different perspetives on censorship in our country. This is the human race, opinionative that is. Different perspectives come from different people: young, old, parents, and children. In libraries there are some reading materials, that some @MONTH1 find offensive.

4,110 | 2 | @STATE1 @NUM1, @PERSON1, IN @CAPS1 Katherine Paterson, I read your article in newspaper yesterday about offensive books in library. I agree with you on this article.

4,111 | 2 | Have you ever been in that situation where you couldn't read a book because of someone else having bitter feelings towards it?

I know I always amd b... | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,112 | 2 | I think that it is should be left alone the way it is because it put that way for a reason. They might not know the reason so thats why i think it should because the person might get mad if you mess it up just cause you dont like it the way it is because it is offensive to some people. Other reasons is because people a... | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
4,113 | 2 | No, I believe all materials should be on the shelfs at libraries. Because some people like stuff other people @MONTH1 find offensive. But you as parents should control what your kids are reading. If you find it offensive tell them to pick out a new book, new @CAPS1, a new movie, or a new magazine. If you don't its not ... | 3 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
4,114 | 2 | Everyone in the world has different opinions. Some people care about things that other people don't care about at all. One topic that seems to get everyone going is censorship.

And a white boy picks ... | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
4,116 | 2 | What should and should'nt be censored in a library really is just a matter of opinion from the people using the library. If everyone were to removed what they didnt like from the shelves of a library then much information would be less acceceble to the general public. Although some people @MONTH1 be offended by some fo... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,117 | 2 | In the library I have noticed that there are a few literature materials that are not suitable for a younger age group. Such as rated @CAPS1 movies that contain things like drug use, sexual content, and extreme violence. Not all libraries have movies, and the ones that do don't let anyone under the age of @NUM1 rent out... | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,118 | 2 | @CAPS6 are many books out @CAPS6 that, if looked into, have something obsene or vulgar in it. Despite the fact that children of certain ages probably shouldn't be reading these types of things, the book itself should not be banned from the shelves of libraries. Authors write or type every word for a reason, whethe... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,119 | 2 | I feel that books, music, movies, and magazines should not be removed from shelves. Just because some one @MONTH1 finds them offensive. They only become offensive when people think they are. I feel this way because no one is forcing any ony to watch or read any thing they dont want to. No one is telling sudents wha... | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
4,120 | 2 | I believe that there are many books in a library that should not be avalible to everybody that goes into a public library. Yes there are some very offincive items in a library, such as a book about racism to african americans. No, that person who takes offince in those itmes does not have to be around them or even go i... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
4,121 | 2 | Books being taken off the shelves? No way! The @CAPS1 is the place to go if you want books, movies, music, etc., that fit what you like and want.

4,122 | 2 | Should certain materials, such as books, music, movies, magazines, etc., be removed from shelves if they are found offensive? I do not think that certain materials should be removed for many reasons. Many different people have many different thoughts on whats offensive and what isn't like some people will find some... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
4,123 | 2 | I firmly believe that the removing of books, music, movies, ect., from a shelf just because someone finds it offensive will not solve the problem. A person can find many things in life offensive to their personal views, but they can not just remove them. To remove books, music, movies, ect., from people who do not find... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,124 | 2 | I dont think so becuase what if that is all the person likes to read. They could put all the bookes in to diffrent sections so that littel kids wont be learning words they shouldnt know wright now. the librarian could also make it where you have to be a sertaint age to cheak out a book. There are a bunch of ways... | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
4,125 | 2 | Keep it on the Shelf! What types of things do you go to the library for? Some go for books and others go just to relax in a quiet environment. Yes, the library is mostly used for books and studying, but there are many other things that libraries contain. Movies, magazines, music, etc., are all found in a library. N... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
4,126 | 2 | Can literature, which is the basis of civilization, be censored? Can you take these ideas away from those who wish to think them? I think not, for it would be a futile endeavor to even attempt. To keep something as important as written word away from the culture of the people, would be one of the highest crimes again... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
4,127 | 2 | Do you think that some materials, such as books, music, movies, magazines, etc., should be taken off of shelves if they are found offensive to people? This is a question that all of us have thought about at one point or another. For some, it just depends on your age, your beliefs, and if you actually know if it is offe... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
4,128 | 2 | Have you ever came across offensive material inside a library? Well some people have and they think there should be some type of censorship in libraires to protect the offended people . I do not agree with this idea because people should have the right to express their self through art, literature, and even music. Aft... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,129 | 2 | 'Everyone has @CAPS1 @CAPS2' @CAPS3 is true that everyone has their own @CAPS2 and their likes and dislikes. For example, books. I do not like books that are about illegal substances, but I do believe removing certain materials that are offensive should not be removed from the shelves in the library. @CAPS3 is true... | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
4,130 | 2 | I believe that if something or someone offends you, you have the right to take a stand. You shouldn't have to deal with it. If something is offensive in your library, it has no right to be there. A library is supposed to be a helpfull place. Who would want to sit back and watch a raciest movie? Who would want to have a... | 5 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
4,131 | 2 | Would you censor the @CAPS1? i @CAPS2 i sure would not. The @CAPS1 is a very percious and religoius part of our nation and history, but this is just a mere example. There are thousand of books, newpapers, articles, and media that play and important role in the history and the future of human beings. Common sense or... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
4,132 | 2 | Shut down libraries? Yes, I do, because music, movies, etc. could not only contain unnessisarry attire, they could also contain potty mouth language. The words could, and can, corupt the minds of youngsters. All librairies put them there because of the needs of customers. The things they do to make some cash aro... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
4,133 | 2 | With the world having a wide variation of cultures, languages, beliefs, and races, there is no doubt that different subjects will be offensive to some and not to others. Books, songs, magazines, and movies all have purposes as to why they were created. This @MONTH1 be to entertain, inform, or persuade. People use libra... | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |
4,134 | 2 | As a place used to gain knowledge and wisdom, a library is a wonderful resource. Multiple variaties of books @MONTH1 be found at a local library from documantaries to science-fictoin or just fiction. The most amazing part of a library is the fact that one @MONTH1 choose what he or she reads. Yet if one man opposses the... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
4,135 | 2 | I believe that this idea is not a good idea because some of the the students would need that information to look up ideas that they would need to write about in a report or to right in a final. The reason the libary is here for the students to have and take there advantge to put time in to looking up what they need for... | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
4,136 | 2 | It really don't matter to me because I only go to the library to get a book when my teacher at school makes me. But a library should be able to put whatever they want out on a shelf because the library is devided up in sections for kids, young adults, and adults. If a person don't like what he or she sees on a shelf a... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
4,137 | 2 | In the @LOCATION1 @DATE1, there consists of many libraries that are available to the public with an interminable amount of information.

4,138 | 2 | What would you say if your library was censored? Would you believe it would be right to have a censorship at the library?

4,139 | 2 | Everywhere a person goes, there is always a media source. Media can range from newspapers, to magazines, to the radio, and through the television.

4,140 | 2 | I believe that certain materials such as books, music, movies, magazines and other thing can be removed from the shelf.

4,141 | 2 | Should a library be able to remove a book or a movie from its shelves if someone happens to find it offensive? I believe that the answer to that question should be no, because everyone in the world could find something in a library that could be considered obscene or offensice. However, if a library decides to remove e... | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
4,142 | 2 | Everyone has their favorite music they listen to or their favorite book to read even if it does offend a certain group or type of people. People do still read or listen to it.

4,143 | 2 | As a teenager I am trying to grow and find my way in life and find ways to express myself. I do not believe that certain materials, such as books, music, movies, magazines ect.. should be censored in libraries. Everyone has their own opinion on things such as the music we listen to or the books we read. I do believe th... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
4,144 | 2 | I believe that certain materials should not be removed from the shelves in a library. Libraries are meant to provide people with the varities of media that they need. This action will pose three things: business loss, inconvenience, and a narrowing of people's book selections. The first reason why libraries shoul... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
4,145 | 2 | Freedom to chose is something every person can have, such as what type of clothes you wear. Censorship in libraries should not be allowed because everyone should have that right to chose. Plus, there are other ways to avoid children getting inappropriate books besides taking the books completely out of the library. ... | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,146 | 2 | These days there are many kinds of merdia in the liberaries beside books. There are musics, movies, magazines and many more.

4,147 | 2 | Should certaine materials on shelves that are offensive be removed from shelves?

4,148 | 2 | The thought that Katherine Paterson had in her quote is quite understandable. If we were to censor books then there would be nothing to read in libraries. If you really tried, in every book you could find something offensive. I somewhat agree with her; however, I do believe there should be rules on where books are loca... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,149 | 2 | I don't believe that certain material should be taken out of our libraries. If they take the books that people get a learning expresion off of then what does that leave us with.

4,150 | 2 | When walking into the library and children are finding books, movies and magazines they should not look at. It can be offensive.

4,151 | 2 | Do you believe that certain materials, such as books, music,movies,magazines, should be removed from from shelves if they are found offensive.

4,152 | 2 | I certainly don't believe books, magazines, etc.. should be taken off the shelves in libraries just because they're offensive to a certain amount of people. For one of the reasons are in the @CAPS1 @CAPS2 it states that you have the freedom of speech and when you write a book or an article in a magazine you are writing... | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,153 | 2 | I don't think that certain books or anything should be taken away because people like different stuff. Someone might have wanted to get that book. I don't think it would be right to take it away. When I was in sixth grade, I was in a foster home that I hated. They would not let me listen to the music I liked. They... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,154 | 2 | One of the amendements in the @CAPS1 of @CAPS2 is freedom of speech, this amendment gives the freedom of speech to anyone who has something to say, as long as what they have to say does not interfere with the @CAPS2 of others. It has been long since passed that the @CAPS1 of @CAPS2 was signed, but even today there are ... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 |
4,155 | 2 | I think that censorship in libraries is and is not a good idea because some people wouldnt get to read what they want to. I read world war @CAPS1 books, and a wide selectionof others and if they take those away just for being offensive id have nothing to read. If i find a book i think is offinsive I just put it back an... | 3 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
4,156 | 2 | I think other materials in libraries such as music and art should stay active in public libraries or school libraries. They show symbolic meaning to the ever changing world as we know it. People have different beliefs about anything, I don't care what you say everybody still has a different opinion about anything and e... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,157 | 2 | I believe that libraries should not censor their literature, all of our media is a fountain of knowledge waiting to be discovered. No one should be able to decide what is appropriate for the public to know. The right to decide what is and is not appropriate for us should not be decided by libraries. That right should r... | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
4,158 | 2 | Do I believe that certain materials, such as books, music, movies, magazines, etc., should be removed from the shelves if they are found offensive? No, it should not be removed. Katherine says, ' I have the right to remove that book from the shelf, that work I abhor.' @CAPS1 of all, she can have the right to do that bu... | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
4,159 | 2 | I believe that all types of books should be available to all types of people. A library should never be intended for a certain group of readers. As far as I'm concerned, books are creativity in text-form. Creativity is a large part of life, and without it, we would all be the same. There is at least one book for every ... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,160 | 2 | Have you ever been to a library and found a book offensive?In my opinion I believe that books, music, movies, magazines, etc., are at the library for a reason. The reason being say if we wanted to check out a movie and everywhere else was to expensive to get it, why wouldn't you just get it at the library if they had i... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,161 | 2 | Offensive material shouldn't be taken off the shelves at all. Books are written on various of topics from love to sci-fi. Everyone is offended by something; if all of us could remove a book that we precieve as offensive then the human race wouldn't read anymore. @PERSON1 had to demonstrate this in a similar aspect ... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,162 | 2 | Throughout the years, many events have taken place in our history. Throughout these times the events have been recorded, journaled, and filmed.

T... | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
4,163 | 2 | There a books, music, movies, magazines, and etc. that are not appropriate for children.

If you don't li... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
4,165 | 2 | It is important to know what is going on or what has gone on in the world. If @CAPS1 is unaware, problems can only be helped to a short extent. There is a point in which words can turn into harrassment, but the boundaries before reaching that point can be fairly defended by the freedom of speech. @CAPS1 must learn in o... | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
4,166 | 2 | People will always take things offensive. It is a fact of life. No one will ever be completly satisified no matter what. We can not try to please everyone, but it will never happen. We have a freedom of speech even if those words are offensive to others. Things on the internet are offensive and no one can mandate ... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,167 | 2 | There are alot of things that people think do do we really think that things that are found offensive in the libraries should be tooken down. I think that if there is somthimg foumd offincive in a library, it should be tooken down immediatley. Libraries should be a place of comfort, a place to relax, a place to rea... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
4,168 | 2 | This is a very difficult topic to argue with. In my opinion I believe that there should be certian types of censorship in the libraries. Eventually everyone is going to be exposed to the type of material in some of these books and etc. This material should be allowed in public libraries and highschool libraries, but of... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,169 | 2 | Teachers in schools do their best to make sure the material that children and young adults read and see in school is appropriate for their certain age group. Parents also make the effort to censor what their kids read, watch, and listen to as a way of keeping them innocent. At a point in a young adults life, this feeli... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,170 | 2 | Today's books in are libraries are sometimes offensive. Yes, I know they are about thing that happen in history. Other books are not, some more than others.

4,172 | 2 | The idea of censoring books and music in our libraries has long been debated. Libraries are places that people can go to stray away from the norm and get lost in the works of other authors and musicians. I believe that reading and the ability to express oneself through the powers of music is a very essential part of ou... | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,173 | 2 | Can you believe that some people think that books should be banned for having bad things in them? Well I can, Children today are learning nothing but violence and cursing these days. Banned books could be the way we set them stait and make them recognise that stuff is bad. Only a handfull of kids these days are ch... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
4,174 | 2 | I feel that censorship in libraries is not needed. There are ways around your child having to be subjected to certain things you don't want them to be subjected to.
