Abstract

Public middle and high schools across the nation are pulling books off library shelves because parents, administrators, or teachers deem them inappropriate for student use. By removing books from libraries, faculty and parents are putting students in these censored schools at a disadvantage compared to their counterparts in other uncensored schools. The issue of censorship in public school libraries goes beyond determining the appropriate content of books, defending morals and values, or even allowing students opportunities for decision making. Though these issues are relevant and should be addressed, the main concern with censoring books in public school libraries classrooms is that by censoring the materials students are exposed to, they are given incomplete educations that will not prepare them for the next educational level: college.
