I read many of the 100 books when I was younger, some while I was in elementary school. It makes me sad and irritated that students in school right now won't read some of these because a few parents object. I didn't realize that some are pulled from public libraries...that is an outrage. A lot of them have sensitive themes, but they are subjects that many, many children deal with on a daily basis (Blubber by Judy Blume comes to mind immediately); is not reading about them and thinking about them going to make them go away?
Gilda, I will take your advice and read a book on the list that I haven't read before. Thanks for the post.
