I believe that kids should have a say in what books they read. Give them the option to choose. Yes some books need censoring, but that is depending on age. I don’t think parents should have a say let kids read their books mostly cause if they don’t like the book they will stop reading it. If you tell your kids not to read certain books it will confuse them because adults always tell us to read that reading is good. It’s contradicting if we tell them certain books are bad. Instead of censoring books just because they have one or two bad words in it censor the books that actually really need censoring because the books that everyone keeps censoring have good lessons in them. I believe that if the adult is choosing the book then why does it have to be approved? If it’s already got an adults approval what more does it need? Because of Win-Dixie is the first book I read in school around the same time I was being told to read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer stone in fourth grade. I’m now in eleventh and that book is banned because it has fantasy? That tells me that kids can’t have an imagination if were banning books because there not true.
If we keep banning books what books will teachers have left to teach, or what books will kids have to read? Stop banning books because honestly if we wanted to read the books that were banned we would just go to the public library or we’d buy it. The only thing banning books does is teach kids that books are bad. I assure you kids have a good sense of what is right and what is wrong. I think if kids had a say in what they read they would be more interested in reading.

Kids should have a say in what they read. Like for elementary the teachers should choose unless your kid is reading on his/her own. Later on in like middle school they should choose what they want to read.
"I don’t think parents should have a say let kids read their books mostly cause if they don’t like the book they will stop reading it." Do you want you kids to learn about sex and drugs before you talk to them about it. I think that a lot of things could have been prevented if my parents talked to me about it. I think that reading about it glorified it in ways and I went out to experience that, but it wasn't anything like they said.
In some ways I disagree with your opinion because it has a fact of life that some things parents don't whant their children reading books and they're just doing everything in their power to keep those books out of our hands.
