| contents | Readstricted: Censorship in Public School Libraries Carolyn L. Carlson Censorship School Libraries Public Schools Elementary Secondary Education Library Services Library Materials For as long as texts have been printed, they have also been subjected to censorship. Each year, books are challenged and/or banned from public school libraries. Removing books from school libraries restricts students' abilities to read and reflect upon these texts. Further, all students (students in kindergarten, students in high school, students with disabilities, students in rural settings, students with diverse backgrounds, etc.) need to see themselves in literature -- sometimes those "controversial" texts are the ones that students can relate to the most and removing them also removes the chance for a student to connect with a text. In addition to giving students the opportunity to "see themselves" in literature, other students (not those necessarily with the same characteristics as the ones found in the text) can learn from reading these types of texts to develop an understanding and an appreciation of the diversity that exists in their school, town, state, country, and the world. While there has always been censorship, a shift has taken place in the type of books typically banned/challenged. This shift creates an even greater need for classroom teachers, librarians, and administrators to examine the topic of banned books. |
