Reading is Illegal?
Rochell Fulmer
October 7, 2011
Is it not crazy to believe that books are labeled as “illegal” because they contain “crude” language? What about the fact that most of the books we read in English class were restricted at one point in time? Books get restricted or banned due to a parent somewhere in the world... Read more »
