Some books are not fit for humans in general, let alone children.
One can in fact craft malice into physical form seperate from a human. Now, people always have a choice, a book of poisonous words cannot force a person to do anything, but given that one wouldn't listen to a person you know to be a liar, why should allowances be made for books?
No, anti-censorship is a Trojan horse for kelpies, and many are the useful idiots that let mould and rot fester in the name of freedom of expression.
This teller is in favour of safely harrowing children and even adults as only stories can, but there's a world of difference between that and books that are just screams of torment or worse spells meant to enchant and delude.
Certainly it's nice to be nice, but sooner or later, the answer to the various excuses for filth that people raise must be rejection. To declare that there is in fact legitimate and illegitimate, good and evil.
Some books are unworthy to be seen by human eyes.
Some deserve nothing but flame.
This then, produces greater terror than calls of censorship.
Excellent! Thank you. I agree that what you describe is not censorship. And your response to the school declining your book was more than reasonable.
