Our school board doesn't like that an art history book for HS Seniors has pictures of nude paintings in it.

We have done a project with banned books in my junior English class the last few years, so I have a lot I have used. Here are a couple of my favorites:

"You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them." - Ray Bradbury

"Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight." -Stephen Chbosky

"Torch every book. Burn every page. Char every word to ash. Ideas are incombustible. And therein lies your real fear." - Ellen Hopkins
