I think schools ban books because they do not want to go against certain sensitive subjects such as racism, religion or any other subject that might be suported by family values or morals. I think it is reasonalble but I think not one book should be banned because it is good to know what else there is to read about. Learning from other countries, people, and difrent values is the best way to learn. I think if we learn about different topics our knowledge will expand and we no longer would just be on demensional to what we were brought up us. One day we will be old enough to chose what to believe what religion to be and what we value. I think they might have pressure because they might want to teach us everything but do not want to get in trouble because it might offend some students who have strong values or were told what not to have to listen to.If someone wanted to fight against censorship than they can talk about real situations and how it has effected a person negatively. This would support the censorship because it would show a real life scenario which can happen to anyone in the situation that may be similar.
