Question Posted Friday March 18 2005, 12:23 am

Tomorrow, i have a Persuasive essay to turn in, which I will later have to read to my English class.


My topic is on book-banning, and i've typed up my essay, and it's all set.


My problem is, is that my last reason for why book-banning from schools and libraries isn't right, is because books are sometimes banned because of homosexual characters.


At first, i felt strongly about stating my opinion through an essay on my opinion on homosexuallity (I'm for gay marriage), but now, I'm having second doubts. Can you please tell me how they think this will go over in my class, and is it appropriate? (This is Advanced 8th grade Eglish by the way)

MFS answered Friday March 18 2005, 12:44 am:
You might spin your approach in a neutral sense - go for legal reasoning, that banning based on homosexual characters is basically virtual discrimination, which is flat-out forbidden by the Constitution... no group may be singled out and have their civil rights removed... using that sort of logic shows that to ban a book based on that content condones discrimination.
