Week of September 23, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the News: <\/em><\/strong>Banned Books Week<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO READ THESE BOOKS!
\nWell actually, you are, here at FAU, once this exhibit is over, but these are all books which have been banned in various places at various times.\u00a0 Some are still banned, usually for their sexual or heretical content, or their language.\u00a0 Most books which have been banned upon first publication for their sexual content, like Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover<\/em>, are considered pretty tame today, but there are always new titles to take their place.\u00a0 Much of the focus on challenged books today revolves around children\u2019s books which touch on the topic of homosexuality, in one way or another, such as the book And Tango Makes Three<\/em>, about two male penguins who raise a chick.\u00a0 It is common for governments to ban books which exhibit an uncomfortable political perspective (like Cat\u2019s Cradle<\/em>), and for governments in countries where there is no separation of church and state to ban books (like The Satanic Verses) <\/em>which espouse unwelcome religious sentiments.<\/p>\n
