Why Ban A Book That Has A Meaning?

To Kill A Mockingbird

2010: it was removed from St.Edmund Campion Secondary School Classroom in Brampton,( Ontario, Canada) because a parent objected to language used in novel, included the word “nigger”

2009: it was retained in English Curriculum by the Cherry Hill (NJ) Board of Education. A resident had objected to the novel’s depiction of how blacks are treated by members of a racist white community in an Alabama town during the depression. The resident reared that the book would upset black children reading it.

I personal feel that these people who feel this way are idiots because. This book was written to allow the world to know how it felt to have to go through such ridicule that this girl had went through and back then as we have been told that is was a time of Era that caused a lot of deaths an mishaps that we in the 21st century have no control over now. I read the book and although it had language in it that shouldn’t have but it allowed me as the reader to look deeper inside the book and get a better understanding of whom this person was. It allowed me to actually be inside the book and play the character myself. I disagree with what they say because what if they didn’t have such books to allow us to read and understand? How would we know what or how people felt at the time of segregation and how things took place. What about the Little Rock 9? If it wasn’t written down and told in a story how would we have known about these remarkable people who allowed children today to have the opportunity to be in a white school with in a black neighborhood.
