I think our discussion about banned books shows that people prefer to stay in their comfort zones. If there is a topic that may be uncomfortable to bring up in conversation, then they just get rid of it altogether. Avoidance has become the preferred solution. However, avoidance is one of the worst solutions. These banned books bring up conversations that students should be exposed to and a discussion in the classroom may be the perfect location.
It was often surprising to see what books were on the list of banned/challenged books. Many of the banned books were the ones that I grew up reading and still consider as some of my favorite books. It actually makes me sad to see these books banned.
