Only some school ban the books, and thats usually only after parents complain and complain until they get their way.

But alot of schools, like mine, are supporting the reading of banned books, and thats where I found out about "Banned Books Week" in the first place.

Oh you should read I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. It's a true story about what happened to her. It's really sad though.
