Personally i i hope this is not true....these are classics and a lot of them are my favorite....its really stupid. Take Catcher in the rye.... when it was banned, parents hated Holden's being a poor role model, encouragement of rebellion, and promotion of drinking, smoking, lying, and promiscuity. Often, the challengers have been unfamiliar with the plot itself. these parents are being just like Holden ... They are trying to be catchers in the rye trying to hold on to innocence when they just cant. Maybe she should read the books before banning them Cloverheaven...i was thinking the exact same thing....i hope its a rumor LMS......your so right sela C.... im not an idiot ok....i feel its a rumor to...but i wanted other peoples opinions so stop being a know it all Question #2:Sarah Palin wants to have these books banned?I don't know if this list is exact, but if it is then it looks like she pretty much wants to have all classics including childrens classics banned, my question is do you think that a person like that should be allowed into power?Here is the list A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner Blubber by Judy Blume Brave New World by Aldous Huxley Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson Canterbury Tales by Chaucer Carrie by Stephen King Catch-22 by Joseph Heller Christine by Stephen King Confessions by Jean-Jacques Rousseau Cujo by Stephen King Curses, Hexes, and Spells by Daniel Cohen Daddy’s Roommate by Michael Willhoite Day No Pigs Would Die by Robert Peck Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller Decameron by Boccaccio East of Eden by John Steinbeck Fallen Angels by Walter Myers Fanny Hill (Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure) by John Cleland Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes Forever by Judy Blume Grendel by John Champlin Gardner Halloween ABC by Eve Merriam Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K.
