BANNED!

I was slightly shocked today, when I saw a list of children and youth books that were banned in U.S. in the within last ten current millennium. Many organizations and super moral parents are busy to remove some books from the shelves in schools and libraries.

Guess which book is topping the list? I bet you would never do it! The Harry Potter novel series! A long list of reasons.

Number two is the book “And Tango Makes Three” based on a true story of two penguins from Central Park Zoo who raised a baby penguin. The problem is that both penguin parents are male…

On the third place is The Diary of Anne Frank, one of the best selling books of all time, translated in over 50 languages. Never the less, all existing copies of the book were removed recently this year in one of the schools in Culpeper County, Virginia. “Explicit sexual themes” was the reason…

The fourth place got Merriam Webster Dictionary. I’m not joking, check yourself! This dictionary was removed from all schools in Menifee Union School District in California. Ups, a few students found the definition of “oral sex” and told their parents about it. So, the dictionary had to leave the shelves.

The most banned book in U.S. schools and libraries within the last nearly 60 years – “The Catcher In The Rye” by J.D.Salinger – is on the fifth place. The book is still very unpopular among parents, and the last attempt to ban it was taken last year at Big Sky High School in Montana. “Of Mice And Man” by Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck is also constantly laying on the 5th honourable place the last 10 years. The list of banned books is endless…

I smiled when “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury was removed from the required reading list of the West Marion High School in Foxworth, Mississippi. A parent complained of the use of the words "God damn" in the book.

I’ve just thought, what a future would have Danish teenager book “Min Fucking Familie” (“My Fucking Family” in English – this name stands on the cover of the book and the expression is used nearly on every page, including many other common to it, the plot is reflected in the name of the book) by Ina Bruhn in U.S.? Meanwhile we speculate about it’s fate, some Danish students in the 8th grade are finishing the last pages of the book.

Believe me, the smile was gone, when I found that Astrid Lindgrens “Karlson On The Roof” (“Karlsson på taket” in Swedish) is banned too. The reason – subversive views on babysitters.
