The Right to Read




               -Justice Brennan, 1965
Hello class, today we will be discussing…
•   American Exceptionalism
•   The supremacy of capitalism
•   The right to bear arms
•   Limited government
•   Christian values
•   The Moral Majority
We will not be discussing….

•Separation of church and state
• The Civil Rights Movement
• LBGT issues
• Women
• Minority figures
• Evolution
• Global warming
Who would you ask about the Civil
            War?




Your dentist or a history professor at Princeton?
Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it
                  -Edmund Burke
And Tango Makes Three
ALA’s Position on Censorship
While we firmly support the right of every reader to
choose or reject a book for themselves or their
families, those objecting to a particular book should
not be given the power to restrict other readers’ right
to access and read that book. As members of a
pluralistic and complex society, we must have free
access to a diverse range of viewpoints on the human
condition in order to foster critical thinking and
understanding. We must protect one of the most
precious of our fundamental rights – the freedom
to read.

                     -Barbara Jones, director of the Office
                     of Intellectual Freedom
This is my son Aidan.
We read…
• Where The Wild Things Are
• The Giving Tree
• SkippyJon Jones
• Where the Sidewalk Ends
• All the World
• Tuesday
• Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
• No David!
• Captain Underpants
• The Napping House
• King Bidgood’s In The Bathtub
• Flotsam
• Jumanji
• Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
