Issue

I don't think so!!
In The Sledding Hill there are many issues presented, but the most apparent one is the topic of banned books. In this book the book that is being banned is called Warren Peece. Warren Peece contains strong language and some mature content.
In researching the topic of banned books here are some of the things I found out: I found out that the top reasons why books are banned because they are sexually explicit, contain offensive language, and/or are unsuited to age group. The people that mostly try and ban books are parents, but other people may try to ban a book because of a belief such as something that doesn’t belong to their religion. Also, seventy-one percent of challenged books are in school or school libraries. Between the years of 1990 and 2000 there were 6,364 challenges reported to or recorded by the Office for Intellectual Freedom. About one-fourth of those challenges were for containing sexually explicit material. Judy Blume, Robert Cormier, Chris Crutcher, Robie Harris, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, Toni Morrison, J. D. Salinger, Lois Lowry, Marilyn Reynolds, and Sonya Sones were the most frequently challenged authors of 2005.
Here is a list of the most challenged books in 2006 and the reasons why:
“And Tango Makes Three” by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, for homosexuality, anti-family, and unsuited to age group;
“Gossip Girls” series by Cecily Von Ziegesar for homosexuality, sexual content, drugs, unsuited to age group, and offensive language;
“Alice” series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual content and offensive language;
“The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things” by Carolyn Mackler for sexual content, anti-family, offensive language, and unsuited to age group;
“The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison for sexual content, offensive language, and unsuited to age group;
“Scary Stories” series by Alvin Schwartz for occult/Satanism, unsuited to age group, violence, and insensitivity;
“Athletic Shorts” by Chris Crutcher for homosexuality and offensive language;
“The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky for homosexuality, sexually explicit, offensive language, and unsuited to age group;
“Beloved” by Toni Morrison for offensive language, sexual content, and unsuited to age group; and
“The Chocolate War” by Robert Cormier for sexual content, offensive language, and violence.
Most people feel that they need to ban the books because they don’t want their kids exposed to some things, but really how much can you protect your kids? They’re going to have to go out into the real world sometime. Isn’t it better to expose them when they’re minds are open to all sorts of ideas like race and sexuality, then late when you’ve already tried to drill their brains with your own opinions? Everybody should have the opportunity of being able to have their own believes and their own opinions, not your’s. Most parents that want to ban books normally haven’t even picked up the book or even seen it. So next time you want to ban a book so that your kids aren’t “exposed” to that type of thing try and read the book, who knows maybe it’ll surprise you and actually be a good book!
