Journal+4-Reflection

The board is considering taking away books that have graphic violence or the use of inappropriate language. The students believe that taking away library books with questionable language and violence is unnecessary, unfair, and may affect their work. In other words, having the board take away library books for such reason is uncalled for because it won't stop the students from speaking or hearing inappropriate words or seeing the violence in the future for real. In fact reading books about violence is better then witnessing it for real, and it will all so prepare them as well as help them a little in the world. Also it is unfair, because some parents of the students do not have a problem with the books the library has that the students read, Also students may like those types of books and may not read any other book except those. The final reason why the board should not take the books is because to do so may affect the students work. Not only will does the library books have violence and bad language but so does history books and other books used in class. So having such books taken may distress the students even more when trying to do projects with them.
