This blog is now archived. A discussion on censorship through the Pelham Public Library, Fonthill, Ontario. Take the "Banned Book Challenge." A comprehensive list of "banned book" sites and resources for the novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury can be found on the sidebar.
There are two days left to read for the "Banned Book Challenge." I will continue to publish your submitted titles under comments for as long as they come in.
I have completed my challenge - the three books I read were: 1. A wrinkle in time by Madeleine L'Engle - banned because it "Promotes witchcraft, crystal balls, and demons;” sends a mixed message about good and evil; Jesus Christ is mentioned together with other individuals as a defender of the Earth against evil"
2. On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingells Wilder - Banned because it "Contains references offensive to American Indian people."
3. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by JK Rowling - Banned because its "Main character engaged in wizardry, witchcraft, and magic-making; inappropriate for young readers; promotes witchcraft."
