I live in a very conservative, religious area. And yet, I surprisingly found when I was in high school, they ban very few books. Many books that are frequently banned in other places were actually required reading for me, such as "Of Mice and Men." In fact, the majority of books I had to read show up on this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_commonly_challenged_books_in_the_United_States and I am thankful for that.

 

Banning books is just plain wrong.
