Censorship
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
A 5 page research paper that addresses the topic of censorship, with particular focus on public school libraries. Censorship, by definition, restricts the free flow of information and ideas. Censorship in the US is usually rationalized as a means of protecting minors from sexually explicit material. However, there can be considerable difference of opinion even on this topic as what some parents see as "pornography," others perceive to be age-appropriate information on sexual health. An examination of censorship in the US indicates that parents should monitor reading material in the home, rather than insisting that certain books should be banned in school and public libraries. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
