Blogue d'un québécois expatrié en Angleterre. Comme toute forme d'autobiographie est constituée d'une large part de fiction, j'ai décidé de nommer le blogue Vraie Fiction.

Of Books and Censorship
I found this meme on one of the atheists pages I have been following on Facebook. I don't know author Judy Blume, but she is spot on here. This is how I was raised and this is how we are raising Wolfie.
Censorship has taken a whole, very sinister direction IMO. Great children's authors like J.K. Rowling, Edith Blyton, Georges Remi and others don't fit what is socially acceptable to some. So I agree, let the child read and talk to them about the books they are reading. My grandchildren are great readers and its expanded their knowledge and imaginations wonderfully.
I agree 100% -- that's how I was raised too.
ReplyDeleteI loved Judy Blume's books - they dealt with puberty and emerging sexuality and were a little controversial.
