What’s more, the United States education system can ban books in schools.The campaign aims to raise awareness of freedom of opinion, regardless of what that opinion is. The annual campaign is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and was conceived in 1982 by Judith Krug. According to the ALA, over 11,300 books have been challenged since 1982. This year, it is celebrated from Sept. 27 to Oct. 3.
“Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community –- librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types –- in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular,” shares the ALA. “ By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship.” This year’s list of books include: 1. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (2007) by Sherman Alexie 2. Persepolis (2004) by Marjane Satrapi 3. And Tango Makes Three (2005) by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell 4. The Bluest Eye (1970) by Toni Morrison 5. It’s Perfectly Normal (1994) by Robie Harris 6. Saga (2012) by Brian Vaughan and Fiona Staples 7. The Kite Runner (2003) by Khaled Hosseini 8. The Perks of Being a Wallflower (1990) by Stephen Chbosky 9. A Stolen Life (2011) by Jaycee Dugard As always feel free to browse my site, and remember to subscribe. Have a good Wednesday.--Keith |
