Banned or Challenged?
There is a difference between "challenging" and "banning" a book:
- A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group.
- A banning is the removal of those materials.
Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others.
