People were told that this book supports atheism. So I suppose they were worried that their kids would become Godless heathens who don't support organized religion if they read it.
(though I am assuming it would take more than cool battle polar bears to take away someone faith if they truly had any to begin with.)
Lines:
Books I've read on this list (bolded ones were required reading): Go Ask Alice (wtf, this is a good book), Brave New World, Girl, Interrupted, To Kill a Mockingbird (another WTF!), The Golden Compass, Wicked (are you serious?), the Twilight series, The Bluest Eye (this book is pretty effed up, but still good), The Book of Bunny Suicides (lol), The Catcher in the Rye (I think they got mad either because they are actually phoney or because this book is a piece of crap), and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
How am I going to celebrate? Read more banned books. Also probably make a shirt that says "I read banned books" because I don't need another tote bag.

Not for sucking, though, but because of sex in the fourth book. Yes, ban all four because of the last one.
Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that Harry Potter wasn't on there. I guess they've gotten over it.
TwistedRemedy:
To kill a mockingbird? Seriously?
"Riley, Andy. The Book of Bunny Suicides: Little
Fluffy Rabbits Who Just Don’t Want to Live
Anymore."
I feel bad that this one made me laugh.
Josefbugman:
Catcher in the rye should have a warning label that reads "Criminal levels of stupid angst, look elsewhere for angst that has a reason".
Other than that, this list is deeply disheartnening, I mean who bans books? We aren't living in 18th century France for Petes sake.
