THE FOLLOWING IS AN EDITORIAL.
This is Banned Books Week here in the United States of America, although the problem is far more widespread than just in our country, and requires a lot more attention than just one week.
Books have been banned throughout the world on religious, political, moral, and other reasons as simple as the person who read the book didn't like it.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
BUT NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO FORCE THEIR OPINIONS UPON OTHERS!
If you're the parent of an underage minor, then you do have some right in regards to keeping whatever the book in question is away from your children.
BUT THOSE ARE YOUR ONLY RIGHTS!
It is up to another child's parents to decide what is right or wrong for their children!
Another adult is perfectly capable of deciding whether something is right or wrong for themselves.
The same rules are applicable for movies, television programs, music, etc.
These are your rights people!
Don't let anyone take them away from you!
