We believe we live in a world where books are no longer banned or pretend we do. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, especially for junior high and high school students, generally referred to as "Young Adult Readers."
Typically banned books discuss sexuality, are contrary to dominant religious views, are political, don't support a nation's manufactured heritage, or touch on topics people in power wish to suppress. Examples include Israel's erasure of history that doesn't celebrate its preferred narrative. The banning of non-Islamic religious texts in several Gulf nations and the increasing vigor by several states in the United States to ban books, mentions, or instruction in schools and public libraries relating to non-white lived experiences and controversial gender studies.
This week focuses on what those in power try to prevent you from learning, thinking, or believing and the importance of supporting the freedom to read what you want. After all, without that freedom, the world would still be flat, evolution would be extinct, and the planet would be just 5,500 years old.
Celebrate Banned Book Week by being a rebel. Read what those in power don't want you to read. Enjoy!
