Banning Seuss, Now I Am Offended.

Is book banning the answer? What do we risk by taking books off the shelves?
I explore my bookshelves and see what banned books I own and love. I also discuss the value of different perspectives and why we need to support the freedom of expression.

This isn’t the first time that Dr. Seuss has been banned, and it probably won’t be the last time. Book banning isn’t new, and the question is whether or not it is valuable in our society to remove books from the shelves.
Does eliminating differing perspectives help us or hinder us as a society? You decide, but let me try to broaden your perspective a little.
