About this listen

 Earlier this week, someone asked me if I would help get the word out about a book they thought should be banned from our public school libraries. “Pornographic,” I believe was the accusation. I didn’t endorse the message, but it did leave me wondering: what makes a book bannable? And what impact do all of these cries for censoring books actually have?
