>It's a fine school reading list book but that is all it is. The book has been banned from many schools. Racial slurs, profanity, and blunt dialogue about rape have led people to challenge its appropriateness in libraries and classrooms so often that, today, the American Library Association reports that To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the most challenged classics of all time and still ranks at number 21 of the 100 most frequently challenged books of 2000–2009. Even as recently as 2011 and amid 326 other book challenges for that year, it ranks in the top ten more than 50 years after seeing print. http://bannedbooks.world.edu/2012/07/30/banned-books-awarene... http://www.marshall.edu/library/bannedbooks/books/killmockin... |
