I know, I know, I've talked about this before... but this time it's SPECIAL!!!  Know why?  Because it's NATIONAL BOOK BAN WEEK!!!  So pick up a copy of The Golden Compass, the Giver, or And Tango Makes Three and get reading!  Today our librarian did a presentation for our GT English class about all of the books that have been censored over the years, including...
-Huckleberry Fin
-Harry Potter
-Shel Silverstein's poetry
-The Supernaturalist
and many more.
So kick back and read one, and be grateful for your freedoms today!

I'm now reading a book called Places I Never Meant To Be.  If I wasn't aware of censorship before, I totally am now.  I'm only on the introduction, but already I'm outraged that a country with so-called free speech and free press would contradict themselves by attempting to ban books.  It doesn't matter how hard you try to "protect" your kids, because unless they live with you in a plastic bubble for the rest of their lives, they'll eventually discover it.  I just wanted to vent, so I'm sorry that this is so short.
