2 News/Ojjirrion The Clackamas Print Wednesday, October 9,1996 Recently banned books Exercise your rights—read a banned book The following is a list of books recently banned in the United States by school districts, towns and counties.

Doyle, Banned Books Week ‘92: Celebrating the Freedom to Read.) Cindy Hines Kurftnan Copy Editor Last week was Banned Book Week: a time when Americans were reminded to exercise their right to read whatever they choose. This right is constantly under fire across the country. Books are literally burned for containing ma terial that offends somebody. Many of these books are clas sics we were required to read in high school or favorites we read after school for fun. These books contain such offensive material as the word “bitch” when referring to a female dog in My Friend Flicka. Other books are banned because they are scary, about the human body or political incorrect. One of the top banned books of all time is the Bible. Back in Johannes Gutenberg’s day, all Bibles were banned — by Chris tians! Today, The Living Bible is banned by some because it is written in modern English. Heaven forbid if people actually understand what they are read ing! If you, like me, are curious about what it is that others don’t want you to read, pick up a banned book today. Celebrate your right to read.
