Essay:

Libraries should not ban certain books, like Percy Jackson or Harry Potter just because it is not politically correct; or the content is not right for certain ages. It should be up to the parent to decide what books their young children should read if they are so worried that their kids will learn bad habits from reading books.

It is also should be up to the person on what they want to read, libraries are suppose to be promoting reading to all, not limiting them on what they can read. It is ok for kids to immerse themselves in what they read. Books are something that kids do to let their imagination go wild, having no limits, if they want let them pretend that they have magic powers. If we did not have these books, the author's out their would be limited on what they want to write, not really making it fun; all life would be like is biographies and history books.

We would also not have a fictional section where all these types of books are placed, making libraries not fun to be in. This is why I think that banned books should not be banned from libraries. You are letting kids not have an imagination.

According to a website called ProCon.org "In the 1982 Supreme Court ruling on Board of Education v. Pico, Justice Brennan wrote that taking books off of library shelves could violate students’ First Amendment rights, adding that “Local school boards may not remove books from school libraries simply because they dislike the ideas contained in those books.”

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope that helps!

This isn't going to be the best so i am sorry if you dont like it but im just going to try to help. if you want to add more then obviously do so but i chose to write about why they should be banned. i didnt finish the thesis bc im not good at those.

Library books aren't always the best. Have you ever read how to kill a mockingbird? They're some inappropriate words that young people shouldn't be allowed to read. Some books just shouldn't be in libraries.

Some books contain violence, nudity, inappropriate words, and just things we shouldn't be reading. If a fourth grader got ahold of one of those books how do you think it would turn out? Probably not so good. Kids and teenagers should be reading books for their age but once they read an adult book it's not always the best. Some might say it's no big deal, but what would you do if your nine year old sister got a book about murder? I assume not very happy. Although that might not be so bad for some, their are many examples of inappropriate things in books which expands my reason even more of banning certain books.

Something else that isn't a terrific thing is reading about racism or discrimination. Maybe if it's a book talking about how Rosa Parks helped the black community in 1955 then that would be great to read. On the other hand I'm sure theirs some books talking about how that was bad and it's okay to speak poorly just because of their race. It isn't something libraries should be putting out for teenagers to read. They should be more aware of what they are giving out to their book community.

Obviously they're many reasons library books should be banned, but these are just a few.

im not good at thesis and im thirteen so i gave up. lol sorry i tired.
