Literary Classics Banned in the USA
Our politically correct society will produce generations of children that go through life without ever reading many of the finest literary classics because these books have been banned from American schools and libraries.
Banned Books Week is an annual event that stresses the importance of making unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints available for all who are interested. This year it's observed from September 25 through October 2. The AARP website posted a "Power of 50" list to coincide with the event. Ten of their favorite banned books are listed below.
