Banned Children's Books

Children and young adult books are often challenged because people want to protect children from “inappropriate” sexual content or “offensive” language. In fact, the top three reasons cited for challenging materials as reported to the Office of Intellectual Freedom are:
--the material was considered to be "sexually explicit"
--the material contained "offensive language"
--the materials was "unsuited to any age group"
