Found this one on a bookstore window in London, Ontario. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

    Certainly a variety of signs! The censorship sign is important; if you doubt, just look at the countries that control the press. Wouldn't want to live in any of them.

    Perhaps they sell banned books? There is always someone who is trying to tell everyone else what they can't read. Our library use to feature books banned in other places, books like Twain's Tom Sawyer.

    Yep, once we start censoring books we're on a "slippery slope."

    It reminds me of a display that was here in a library featuring books that at one time or another have been pulled or threatened to be pulled because of pressure from some third party who never paid much heed to the notion of freedom of expression and too much heed to their own warped moral world view.

    So, this would be the place to go for those banned books that might promote discussion and enlighten the younger ones of the errors of the past. Perfect.

    I agree with EG.
    There are books I wouldn't care to read but I certainly wouldn't want to stop anyone else from having them.

    Regrettably, we are censoring more today than I remember when I was younger. And a lot of the censoring is being done by students and professors who shout down anyone who expresses an opinion contrary to the party line.
