Kan man förbjuda böcker?

 ALA, American Library Association publicerar varje år en lista över de böcker som fått mest klagomål från föräldrar, lärare och andra runtom i USA. I vissa fall, i vissa stater, plockas böckerna till och med bort från skolbibliotekens och folkbibliotekens hyllor! Här kan du läsa mer om varför just de böckerna anses "farliga" att läsa: http://globalnews.ca/news/1934973/10-books-most-likely-to-be-pulled-from-library-shelves-in-the-u-s/

Listan här nedan är saxat från artikeln. Blir du nyfiken på att läsa någon av de "förbjudna" böckerna? Vi har nummer ett på listan på både engelska och svenska, och nummer sju på svenska, engelska och nypersiska. De flesta övriga böcker går att låna via Helgebiblioteken.
