Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Reading, Your Rights
Schools and public libraries have historically selected what books can be found on their respective properties, and many have taken this a step further, actively banning unsuitable books from being read under their roofs. A group of legally-minded high school students are challenging this practice, claiming that this is an infringement of their civil rights.
I’ve encountered with 3 choices
1. “My brain, my choice what to read!” exclaims 11-year-old prodigy Stefanie Gutenberg, waving a copy of the controversial novel Fifteen Shades of Violet. “How can we learn and be exposed to new ideas if not through the words of great authors and writers? People need books for thought like they need air to breathe. No authority, be they governmental, religious or corporate should be allowed to ban books for any reason. Now, if you could ask Teacher to return my copies of The Manual of Home-Made Explosives and Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience, that’d be great.”
2. A woman with a bright red face storms into your office with a toddler hanging off her leg. “Think of the children! Actually, think of the parents! How can we relax if our children are reading books about crime or sex or worst of all, liberal politics? If a library or school thinks a book shouldn’t be read, then we should show a little trust in their judgement. Now, my son is very advanced…” She pauses to stop the tyke picking his nose. “…and when he’s older, he can read more at home. But not at this age, and not without supervision!”
3. Online, a guy with a unicorn pizza avatar named xChickSaitama93 sends you an Insta-Message, which pops up on your screen. “LOL. Y U need books NEway? Duz NE1 even reads those things anymor anyway. =S havnt picked 1 up since highschool … you shud ban paper. #4ENVIROMENT yeh?”
