Censored in School: Banned Books.

Catalog description

Semester course; 3 lecture hours. 3 credits. This course explores books that have been censored or challenged in America’s public schools (mostly grades 6-12). Students will read censored books and learn how and why those books were targeted by people on the political right and the political left. By reading censored books and by studying efforts to remove these books from public schools, students will clarify their own views of censorship and learn about the politics of education in a democratic society.
