Some have been banned from many libraries or schools across the country. Because of the First Amendment, books cannot be banned nationwide. However, there are some that have been banned in other countries. You can see them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_banned_by_governmentsMindySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122081120154598894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-78746043592387875292010-10-02T19:34:09.262-07:002010-10-02T19:34:09.262-07:00Yes.

I know that a few of those are even listed in the book orders that come home with my child from school.

Some books have even been banned by governments. Books are considered "challenged" when someone (or several someone's) have officially objected to their presence in a school or library but haven't been successful in having them removed. The best site I have found for banned books is the ALA website (linked above) but you can also find pretty much anything on Google by typing in "Why was ____ banned" Does that help?MindySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122081120154598894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-51601721241598530952010-10-02T15:36:10.613-07:002010-10-02T15:36:10.613-07:00When you say "banned," where are they ba...When you say "banned," where are they banned from?
