We Interrupt this Blog…

by Kelly

I was planning on continuing my series on place-specific books this week (I have the Mounties book in hand) but I ran across this post on a Gaming MMO and couldn’t help myself. It kind of goes to the heart of my posts from last week about censorship and banning.

Many of the commenters (including myself) criticized the parent’s failure to review the game before buying it. This is exactly the kind of logic that many librarians and school administrators use to justify book banning - that the parents aren’t doing their job.

What do you think? If this were a book instead of a video game, should the clerk have spoken up? Other parents? Would a ban prevent this kind of thing from happening?

About Tiny Treasury

It's impossible to get rid of a bad children's book once it has entered your house. In fact, if history teaches us anything, it's that it will become a favorite. Your child will cling to it, sleep with it and worst yet, require you to read it over and over again.

At tinytreasury.com, our mission is separate the good from the bad. If I can save one parent from having to read a rhyming book about dancing pigs, then I'll know I've done my job.
