Stephen King is the most banned author according to a new study by PEN America. Which, if you’ve read a Stephen King story, you know why schools may ban his books. But I also think it is a silly thing to do.
King’s banned works join a long line of literature on a list of banned novels for schools. To be fair, I think work like King is up to the discretion of the parents of these children. While I was someone who could understand King’s work and how to analyze it, others are not the same. Now, I don’t think the school system has the right to tell people what their kids can and cannot read.
