Book Bannings and Burnings in America
By Frederick Clarkson Thu Sep 06, 2007 at 04:54:53 AM EST
Yes, book burnings sometimes happen in America. Far more often, there
are efforts to ban books from school and public libraries by various
groups trying to suppress access to ideas of which they do not approve
-- from Harry Potter to Huckleberry Finn.
Many of those responsible for efforts to ban books from schools and
libraries are groups and individuals affiliated with the religious
right, particularly in recent years as the American Family Association,
among others, have whipped up-fears about Harry Potter books and films.
Fortunately, for more than 25 years, the American Library Association
and the American Booksellers Foundation for Freedom of Expression, among
others, have sponsored Banned Books Week to highlight the importance of
the Freedom to Read. This year, Banned Books Week runs from September
29-Oct 6th.
The ALA's Office of Intellectual Freedom and others collect and publish
examples from around the country in the run up to Banned Books Week. The
numbers usually run in the hundreds of documented episodes. The 2007
materials have not yet been published, but now is a good time to begin
to be thinking about how we can celebrate Banned Books Week.
The ALA describes BBW this way:
Banned Books Week - Celebrating the Freedom to Read is observed
during the last week of September each year. Observed since 1982, the
annual event reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic
freedom for granted.
Banned Books Week is sponsored by the American Booksellers
Association, the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression,
the American Library Association (ALA), the Association of American
Publishers, the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the
National Association of College Stores. The Library of Congress Center
for the Book endorses it.
Many bookstores and libraries across the nation join in the
celebration with displays and readings of books that have been banned or
threatened throughout history. These include works ranging from the
Bible to John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men."
Each year, the American Library Association's (ALA) Office for
Intellectual Freedom receives hundreds of reports on books and other
materials that were "challenged" (their removal from school or library
shelves was requested). The ALA estimates the number represents only
about a quarter of the actual challenges. "Most Challenged" titles
include the popular "Harry Potter" series of fantasy books for children
by J.K. Rowling. The series drew complaints from parents and others who
believe the books promote witchcraft to children.
The challenges reported reflect a continuing concern with a wide
variety of themes. Other "Most Challenged" titles include "The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, for its use of language,
particularly references to race; "It's Perfectly Normal," a sex
education book by Robie Harris, for being too explicit, especially for
children; and "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou, for the
description of rape she suffered as a child.
The ALA has a list of ways to get involved and suggested activities. As
does the American Booksellers Foundation which also has an online
handbook for Banned Books Week.
The ABFFE has downloadable PDF files of cool Banned Books Week posters
that can be printed at copy shops.
But just in case anyone thinks I am exaggerating or that book burnings
can't happen here,, the ALA has some examples of book burnings that took
place right here in the U.S. in recent years -- including a photo of
members of an Assemblies of God church in Penn Township, Pennsylvania,
burning books and music. The church called it a "Demon Roast."
The ALA's run down of the history of book burning opens with a quote
from a play by German playright, Heinrich Heine in 1821:
"Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human
beings."
The ALA believes that there are many more episodes of burning and
banning every year that they just don't hear about.
In 2002 in New Mexico, a local church organized a book burning of Harry
Potter and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, among others:
A display of Harry Potter books at the Alamogordo (N. Mex.) Public
Library was a marked contrast to a December 30 book burning of works
written by J. K. Rowling and others that took place outside the city's
Christ Community Church. Held on church property after a half-hour
prayer service, the event drew several hundred congregants and as many
as 800 counterprotesters.
After Pastor Jack Brock sermonized about fire as a cleansing
instrument, some worshippers placed into the bonfire personal copies of
the Potter series as well as such items as J. R. R. Tolkien novels,
issues of Cosmopolitan and Young Miss magazines, AC/DC recordings, The
Complete Works of William Shakespeare, and ouija boards. Brock, who
organized the demonstration, characterized the Potter series as "a
masterpiece of satanic deception."
People also reacted with "generous cash donations" to the city
library, Director Jim Preston told American Libraries. "With this money
we are purchasing additional copies of Harry Potter, Tolkien, and
Shakespeare."
So it is important to underscore that book bannings, and even occasional
book burnings, do happen here in America. There are movements that whip
people up into a frenzy about alleged threats from mere books that many
of us would not think possible.
Libraries and independent bookstores across the country stage Banned
Books Week every year. They deserve our support.

Want to make sure everyone actually reads the Bible? Ban it.
Oh, wait a minute - the Christian hierarchy DOESN'T want people to

perfected industrial printing and spread the King James Version.

True. If they ever got it down to only allowing the

each other over which version that means.

country like the US with a whole bunch of Christian
Babbles to fight over?
The frightening thing is: Yes, I *can* imagine it.
The Civil War reprised.
Race riots reprised.
Union riots reprised.
Prohibition riots reprised.
Ku Klux Klan lynchings reprised.
The atheist Revolution of 2010 envisaged.
It reminds of that "Red Dwarf" episode, where the two religious
factions fought each other to extinction over whether the priests'
hats should be green or red.
Wasn't that the cats?
Yes.
And not half as silly as Northern Ireland, nor Martin Luther...
Or that ***** John Calvin. He's responsible not only
for countless deaths but for sucking the honest emotions
out of millions of people over the last few centuries.
And then there's the Roman church and all the misery that they have
caused over two millennia,
Bloody Romans!
What have they ever done done for us, eh?
(Apart from sanitation.
And roads)
Aqueduct.
Oh yeah. And aqueducts.
Thankyou comrade Loretta.

True. If they ever got it down to only allowing the
Babble to be read, the Christians would start killing
each other over which version that means.
Erm, that happens all the time.
Northern Ireland springs to mind.
