Every year a variety of books are censored from the public. Hundreds of banned books are challenged and/or withdrawn from schools, public libraries, and retail bookstores. This is an infringement on your rights!

Depending on the content of the books, some are not acceptable to school going children and some can influence people in the wrong way.... so some content still needs to be kept under wraps.. and perhaps some not, also depends to on how conservative a community is to

Hitler started his major pogroms with book burning. Censorship is a violation of our Bill of Rights. Everyone should be up in arms over this. If you don't think some content should be read by children keep it away from them by their parents, not by the government!

The US media is being muzzled at present and fooling the public into going off at a tangent about things like ACORN when their very lives are being threatened by the mandatory flu vaccine shots. Wake up people! How can you possibly agree with censorship in any form?????

YOU AE RIGHT ABOUT HITLER STARTING BY BURNING BOOKS, BUT THE SADDEST THING IS HIS DREAM IN LIFE WAS TO PLAY BASEBALL, AS HIS MEDICAL CONDITIONS DIDNT ALLOW THAT I BELEIVE HE STARTED TO GET ANGRY.. CAN ANY ONE OF US EVEN THINK OF A WORLD WHERE HITLER ONLY PLAYED BASEBALL......INSTEAD OF .....THE HORRORS THAT HE DID?
