      Again when is that book appropriate? Restricting a book when they can easily get a copy online or find worse fanfiction is just silly to me.

      If they want to read something I don’t want them to for whatever reason, making it forbidden is a good way to make sure they read it, especially for teenagers.

      Back to the main point of this thread, book banning is not doing the kids any favors and only serves to restrict thinking and learning. Even bad twilight fanfiction can serve as an example of what shouldn’t happen.
