I HATE CENSORSHIP!

Okay, so I'm sure all of you have noticed some of my crazy displays around school by now, and I'm sure that you noticed the "Banned Book" announcements during Banned Books Week. But what is a librarian to do when an author censors HeRsElF? Sounds crazy, huh? It's true. Stephenie Meyer has said that the fourth installment of the Twilight series should not be read by kids under 16. WHAT? Whose kids? Mine? Yours? You? Can you all hear me screaming Noooooooooooooo! from a cave somewhere??? What is this world coming to? I thought that censorship was up to the parents! I thought we had stopped all of this book rationing a long time ago! That that's why parents are there...we count on them to be the moral compass...just like, well, Bella and Edward are moral compassess for Renesmee, but wait a minute...YOU CAN'T KNOW THAT IF YOU CAN'T READ IT!

Someone PLEASE...stop the madness...Gladden

I am a first time Twilighter...loving it and can't wait to read the rest of the series. I agree that parents should be the moral compass, not the schools or the school board. Thank you for sharing! J. Palin
