The New Girl C Are there Harry Porter books in your school library? Many kids all over the world are reading J. K. Rowling39。 s books in school. But some parents think their children shouldn39。 t be able to find those and other books in school libraries. Should school Iibraries keep books that some parents don39。 t approve of? Should they take those books off the shelves? All over the country, schools are trying to find solutions to this problem. Read these arguments. Then decide for yourself. Yes! Some Books Sould Be Banned (禁止 ) from School Libraries! We need certain limits (限定 )， said one student. He said some books have no place in school Iibraries. Books should meet certain standards before they are put in schools. Is this a good book for kids to read? Is it fuII of violence (暴力 )? Does it include bad words or ideas kids shouId not learn about? If a book is not good for all kids, it should not be in a schooI Iibrary. Most parents know what39。 s good for kids. They have a right to decide which books should or should not be in schooI Iibraries. If parents don39。 t have time to find out everything their kids read, they should trust schooIs to do that for them. No! Books Should Not Be Banned from School Libraries! Parents should decide what their own kids read, said Natalie Nicol, a student. But other parents shouldn39。 t make that choice for them. Many experts say that it39。 s the parents39。 job, not the school39。 s job, to check out what their kids are reading. If they don39。 t Iike a book, they should not let their kids read it. Why should a few parents stop kids from reading stories like the Harry Potter series? Kids should be able to check out books their parents think are OK to read it. Many schools let kids borrow certain books if they have a signed paper from a parent. That works fine. A parent doesn39。 t sign the paper if he or she doesn39。 t want the child to read the book. Other kids can read the books if they have permission. Some books are not OK for all kids。
