Banned Books Week
In the last week of September, we celebrate Banned Books week. There are lists upon lists of books that have been banned from libraries or public schools by fearful, narrow-minded people who are afraid of being exposed to ideas that don't agree with their own.
Banned Books week is about censorship. Banned Books week is about choice. Banned Books week is about opening your mind.
The primary modes of celebration are fundraising for Banned Books, and of course, reading banned books. Have I said banned books enough in this post?
Read a banned book. Even if you don't like the book, you have a right to read it. A right no man can take away.
