Lets Ban Books

Personally, I am against the act of banning book. I love to read. Most the things you read in books are not real, however, it does increase your imagination and lets you think in a different way. By banning books you are trying to control the perception of how people view things. In the case of the book Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, the Illinois Police Association wanted the book banned because it portrayed the police as being pigs. First of all, its childish of the association to be concerned with how they are portrayed in a children's fiction book. This is childish because in elementary school we learned the definition of fiction while at the library and it states that it is about imaginary events or people. Moving on the the ban of the dictionary which I also find stance that the state of California banned two different versions because of how it defined inappropriate topics. This is still no reason for the ban, kids will eventually find out everything and the meanings so its better if it is appropriately explained to them the it would not be such a big deal when they find out the meanings of things.
