MIS Book Council
Midtown International School should not create a book advisory council.
Censoring books can create a bad vibe that can lead to drugs and pornography.
Press is also being limited about serious topics that could save lives. The book advisory council would counteract the constitutions first amendment. Finally if you don 't tell the kids what is happening in the bad things somewhere in the world then they will not understand right from wrong.
When most kids are younger they read and Tango makes Three. That book was banned because ala.org thinks it was homosexual (ala.org). It is about two male penguins that adopt an egg. Another example is Brave New World it was banned because "A parent had complained that the book has a “high volume …show more content…

They will find the truth out sooner or later. If they do not live with real life they would not know right from wrong. Life can be harsh and you need to learn about at an early age so you can be prepared.
High school senior SaraRose Martin wanted to tell her peers about a serious problem called "dabbing" (Balingit, Para 3). The principal decided to yank the article from the newspaper because it was to "mature" to be in the newspaper even though it could save lives. Censoring books is not a new phenomenon. Is goes back to 399 B.C.E. (Lehigh). The founding fathers probably wanted to get away from all the restrictions and banning of books. That is why our country is a
Finally the difference between a terrorist and a normal person is their knowledge of right and wrong. Knowing what is right and what is wrong changes peoples views of the world. There acts are also changed. While what religion they are changes a bit it doesn 't change that much.
All in all there should not be a student book council because it can lead to drugs and pornography. It can also lead to deaths of people that didn 't have enough viable information. Finally since we are in the USA we need to abide by the Constitution.

I grew up in a typical underrepresented environment that had a big impact on my everyday life, from drugs, gangs, and a lack of ambition.

    Sex Trafficking is a form of modern day slavery that exists throughout the United States and globally. It is one of the biggest lies in society (Farley et., 2014). The Vanderbilt Law Review indicates that the majority of prostitutes do not enter the prostitution lifestyle on their own free will choice, but instead becomes a prostitute due to a variety of vulnerabilities that both pimps and traffickers exploit. This explains why young women get blindsided and think they are becoming a prostitute when in reality they are a sex trafficking victim (Elrod 2015). When the United States made prostitution illegal, it did not change the mentality of the johns.

    There is at least 300 books banned a year for foul language, but don’t you think that an invasion of the authors freedom of press and an invasion of children 's first amendment as well? So I think that books should not be banned. I have three main idea the first on is that the books can be about history and they have some language back then that was fine but is not fine today. The second reason is that libraries should be able to hold all types of books but have an age restricted area. The last reason is that it will get rid of children’s first amendment, and the authors first right as well.

    Every child deserves a proper education. Banned books are depriving students of a well rounded, culturally aware, literary education because of the culture that is discarded, the history that is being withheld, and the education that young people could get through these banned books. The point of history is to learn from it and learn from others mistakes, but how can we do that if we are not allowed to learn it. As teachers shouldn’t you be teaching us how to make judgment calls like understanding that Mark Twain was a racist, but a man of his time and that doesn’t change him being an amazing writer. We cannot learn things such as that if we cannot even read most of Mark Twain’s books.
