[LM_NET] Target/Censorship

[Kelly Tucker <k1tucker@HOME.NL>]

I read the article posted in Publisher's Weekly.com concerning the
censorship of The Higher Power of Lucky: What kind of censorship do you use
within your library?  In my elementary school I had to censor for violence,
religious concerns, and anything with that might have a sexual connotation.
Of course local concerns and demographics contribute to what is censored as
well as the age group of the population.  Do any elementary librarians teach
students about censorship?  I was thinking of doing something for Banned
Book Week, but decided that this might be a topic best left to the upper
grades.  

 

Thanks,
