1. Some reasons that books are banned in high schools could be, because of language, sexual themes, offensive for racial themes, violence, and religious reasons, especially the use of magic or witchcraft.

2/3. I don't agree with these reasons at all. I feel like high school students are mature enough to handle strong language, sexual themes, etc.

4. I think teachers are pressured by the state, because I highly doubt all teachers agree with the fact that hundreds of books are banned.

5. One way a person could fight against censorship, is by voicing the fact irony of banning books is that it's not really "protecting" children from the evils of the world.
