4,495 | 2 | In my opinion, censorship of any kind shouldn't exist, especially in libraries. Libraries are where anyone can go and check out a book, @CAPS1, magazine, or movie. It's where the poor can have access to the same materials the better off have. If you take away opinions in books, music, film or magazine/newspap... | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
4,496 | 2 | There are many different kinds of books in the library. Not all of them are for the eyes of every person out there.

The books in t... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,497 | 2 | There are many reasons why censorship can be thought of as a good thing, or a bad thing. I am against censorship.

4,515 | 2 | I agree with Katherine's statement, but to a certain extent. If a book or magazine has cursing or anything offensive in it, then a student should take it to the librarian and let him/her know they are offended by it.

4,537 | 2 | Everybody had their favorite movie, song, or book when they were younger. Sometimes these types of media aren't exactly child friendly. Songs today hint at sexual activities.

4,549 | 2 | What I belive is that certain material should be allowed on a shelf. The time it takes an author to write a book, is very long.

4,558 | 2 | Yes, I believe that certian materials should be removed from the shelves if they are found offensive. Some people do not want to read about those things that they have less intrest in.

4,576 | 2 | Libraries contain thousands and thousands of books and other materials. Within those books, magazines, and movies holds much knowlege, information in the non-fiction selection, and many entertaining and good morals in the fiction selection of books. If libraries began censoring their books, much information will be dis... | 5 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,577 | 2 | There are many things out in the 'material' world that people take offense to. No matter what, there are always those people who have to be against whatever it is, whether it be a book or a song or a movie. But they do not have any idea what they are doing when they bring up their 'rights'. If they get to say that they... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,578 | 2 | Controversy in the @CAPS1 @CAPS2 someone walks in to there public @CAPS1 they are overwelmed with books. Even though one person could never read that many books, the @CAPS1 has to have a wide selection, for the people that read different thing. The @CAPS1 should not get rid of books that offened some people. t... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,579 | 2 | Personally I believe that items that are found offensive should be left on the book shelves. People that find them offensive don't have to read them they can just ignore them and move on with their life. Students @MONTH1 need to use that certain information in a classroom. If libraries take the information out of t... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,580 | 2 | Yes, I do think so because everyone has an opinon to say and its something people like to look at or leason to. Now it would be diffeint if it was a childerins book store like if they have music like christin bible songs or desine movies in the store but not to have grown-up stuff. I really do not see the big deal ... | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
4,581 | 2 | @CAPS2, I do believe that book, music, mvies, magazines, etc., should be removed from shelves if they are taken offensive. Poeple should not be putting stuff out there if they are making others feel not happy about what they do. Althought, we might think that putting stuff in papers and on movies, don't hurt people. We... | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,582 | 2 | Books are to be read not taken off beacuse of what they say. That to me is stupid are childern live in world of war and fear everyday what is a damn book gonna change?

4,583 | 2 | Nobody should believe that we have the choice to take books off the shelves of a library. America is a free country and we can write whatever we want. Everyone has freedom of speach, your just taking that admendment and putting it into music, books, or a movie. When you are looking for a book and you find one that seem... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,584 | 2 | Censorship in libraries has gotten to strict making the next generation miss key lessons learned about life. How would you feel if you went to the library and as an adult would only be able to check out childrens books, magazines, and music? Now i know thats a little extreme but in all seriousness what are we without k... | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,585 | 2 | Yes, some materials,such as books, music, movies, magazines, etc., are offensive.Yet they shouldn't be removed from shelves.Reason number one is: @CAPS1 some people find offensive, others don't. Reason number two is:'offensive' material will @CAPS6 be out in the world.And finally, if parents don't want their children r... | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 |
4,586 | 2 | Should we censor the materials in libraries? Some people believe that some of the books, magazines, and music in libraries are too vulgar and obscene. This could be a major problem if people are allowed to say what is too obscene to be put in a library. Katherine Paterson makes a great point by saying that if everyo... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
4,587 | 2 | Most people have been debating on whether or not to stop giving out books, movies, music, magazines, and so on, if they are disturbing other peoples lives, and offending them to the point where they are getting infuriated, and disturbing the peace. I also think that many people have been complaining about the violence... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,588 | 2 | Most movies, magazines, music, and books are considered offensive to at least one person in this world. These materials often fall victim to censorship and are challenged daily to be banned, especially books. Mothers and fathers do have the right to prohibit such materials, but they do not have the right to ban them ... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
4,589 | 2 | The library is a very sourceful place but there are just some things that should not be displayed or made veiwable to the public. Some topics or other things found in the library are not suitable for every one and should not be allowed in a public place. First, there should be a censorship on what you can and can n... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,590 | 2 | I say tht they shouldn't take off books that are found affensive and im going to say why I think that.I think that they shouldn't take off those books because thats the way it was written, and if the person that finds that book offensive then just don't read it.Another reason they shouldn't take it off its because a au... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
4,591 | 2 | All of the materials in a library shold have to be check out of the library before anyone can take them out of the library.

4,592 | 2 | If there was a book on a shelf that I found offensive, I would want it removed, but then again I wouldn't. Every one has there own opinions and there own view on things. Mine are different from every one elses'. I mean I @MONTH1 find it offensive, but how is everyone else going to see if it is or not, if you take it of... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
4,593 | 2 | Yes I believe certain material should be removed from the shleves at a library if they are offensive! because people dont want or like to go to any public library that is open to anyone, let them come in and @CAPS1 some book or etc offensive to that person. Like a child grabbed some bad unapropriate book and his ... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
