Banned Books Week

[Dymphna]

I remembered talking about banned books here a few years back... search on it if you want, it was interesting.

Back then I was looking for kid's books and reasons for banning... I never did find a good list, but I just found this one that's interesting...

American Heritage Dictionary (1969)

In 1978, an Eldon, Missouri library banned the dictionary because it contained 39 "objectionable" words. And, in 1987, the Anchorage School Board banned the dictionary for similar reasons, i.e., having slang definitions for words such as "bed," "knocker," and "balls."
