One of the most important reasons to why library censorship is unacceptable is that it limits our information resources. In other words, we will not have the right to receive and source our assignments with quotes and information from banned books, nor will we have the right to read certain books from some of our favorite authors. There are many books that are banned from people or more likely students under the age of 17 (Koss 29). One of these books is
Book Review: Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen Lies My Teacher Told Me is James Loewen’s analysis of how courses in American high schools and, more particularly, their textbooks, are a disservice to the students, and furthermore, the country said texts and courses aim to protect. Loewen begins by addressing how high school textbooks treat historical figures such as Helen Keller and Woodrow Wilson: portraying them as bland heroes sans any interesting facts societal forces might find objectionable or define as “taboo.” Next, Loewen discusses how race is misrepresented in textbooks, using the example of Christopher Columbus, who is continually portrayed as a scholarly explorer, ignoring his role in slavery and genocide of Native Americans. Identified is how the roles of European-American beliefs in oneness, and inferiority of the Indian society, go unchallenged, perpetuating myths about superiority and inferiority of such races and further promoting Whiteness in schools. Loewen then turns to the plight of African Americans, and discusses how racism remains invisible in textbooks, which allows justification of the institution of slavery as well as demand for its abolition. Also discussed is how textbooks ignore other taboo subjects such as social stratification, and also how they portray government snafus like handling foreign policy and the Civil Rights movement as rosy government triumphs.
Freedom of Speech with Consent of the Others “Protecting Freedom of Expression on the Campus” by Derek Bok, is an essay about the struggle of reconciling the rights of free speech, while avoiding the racial tension. The essay briefly describes the difficulties of dealing with this dilemma of keeping one’s freedom of speech without insulting others. Bok uses the example of a Confederate flag that was hung by students from Harvard University and a Swastika flag was hung as a response to this act, which were both an offensive form of expression. He suggests two solutions to this problem of racist speech. The first one is ignoring any offensive speech and the second one is making conscience about how forms of expression can be offensive to others through dialogue.
In the text, according to Wolfram: “the speech of a socially subordinate group will always be interpreted as inadequate by comparison with the socially dominant group.” This is a great example of what is happening to Puerto Ricans. North Americans imply this idea with how Puerto Ricans use English and that we could never use it as they do. Also, the test for college, the College Board, is appropriated to us because the tests are made for second language speakers. I guess we are
The Correspondent is who the story is being told through. The Correspondent’s role is to row the boat. Throughout the entire story, he constantly revaluated his previous beliefs and started to wonder whether or not there was a higher power controlling his fate. For example, he questions his belief of “the gods” and quotes, “If I am going to be drowned –if I am going to be drowned- If I am going to be drowned, why in the name of the seven gods who rule the sea, was I allowed to come this far, and contemplate sand and trees”(365). He wondered that if he was going to die.
No books should ever be banned because for each book that is banned, there possibly could be one life lesson that will not be learned by the next generation. Censorship of books in schools and libraries is wrong for it limits what students can potentially learn. Books such as To Kill a Mocking Bird, Of Mice and Men, and others teach valuable life lessons, which is why they are considered classics. Books such as these are being banned for they have questionable material. In the same book introduction as the opening quote, Judy Blume wrote, “Those who were most active in trying to ban books cam from the ‘religious right’ but the impulse to censor spread like a contagious disease.
