The New Joy of Gay Sex and A Clockwork Orange aren't the sort of thing you should be reading. Especially at 15. I think it's fine that some were banned, but many on the list are banned for ridiculous reasons.

Actually bluh, it's never fine when something gets banned. Free speech and all.

And A Clockwork Orange is a great book.

I sense another Libertarian.
Yeah,I agree it is never right when something is banned but that doesn't mean it is right for anyone or everyone to read,watch or listen to.We all just need to use our
commonsense and be our own self censors.
