Re: “Book-banning: A sad chapter in history”
I haven't read the book but The Color Purple was a part of my childhood. My mother, while watching the movie, explained to me the conflicts that they were faced with. She is a minster so it was a little hard to explain Suge and Celie's relationship but that didn't deter her from wanting me to see what she grew up around and what she had to deal with. Outside of all of this...this book is for educational purposes, and hopefully open up dialogue about the personal conflicts the characters face and how they relate to this day and age. It shouldn't be shunned because some father is scared of what reading this book will do to his children, when they are probably already looking at Beiber and Cyrus as role models. The parents should think about what they are teaching their children about themselves and this nation by banning the book. *steps of soapbox*
