Book Banning makes me laugh because kids just want to read a book more if it is banned. Oh, the irony!

Book Banning should be banned :)
No seriously though the audacity of someone to ban a book is outrageous to me.

I still get surprised when I read the banned book list. Some of those just make my jaw drop of why they're even banned.
