Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Banned Books


Thanks for this, Susan.

Makes me think about an idea that has been bugging me.

I'm against banning books, but am wondering wether or not to reconsider for 
some categories, , when it comes to propagating hatred and discrimination 
and close-mindedness.
Some examples that come to mind are propaganda from dictators and mass 
murderers.

Then again, maybe those books should be kept, if only for studying and 
finding out what led to such horrible concepts and decisions...
But to have them available in public libraries? I don't know how I would 
react to that.
