Questions:
- How do teachers deal with banned books or censorship challenges?
- Is it possible to teach a banned book? What are the consequences?
- Is there a way to un-ban a book?
- What happens if a student is reading a banned book?
- What if a student brings up a banned book in class?
- Is there a safe way to talk about censorship?
Some of these questions are easy to answer, but others require a bit of research. I would love to ask teachers and librarians (both school and public) how censorship has impacted their career. Censorship can easily cause a teacher to lose their jobs, which is one of the reasons it is so important to me. I feel like high-schoolers should be able to have mature discussions about censorship and be able to read the banned books and understand why some people may be offended by them.
