“As long as they’re not harmful or teaching the wrong thing, then I don’t see anything wrong with [books].”

“They shouldn’t be banned, but I think books should be age-appropriate. … Not all books should be available to all kids.”

“Kids don’t even read that much anymore, so instead of banning books, students should be encouraged to read whatever holds their attention.”
