I can tell the difference between government and parents. I'm not a complete idiot. Some governments take the right to decide what their people read. We as a country decided that parents have the right. Denying a book is censorship, wherever it comes from. I also believe that when a child can read words well enough to understand the concepts behind them, they can handle the concepts. Especially when the parent is involved and willing to discuss those ideas.

I feel a little more protective about TV and movies, because visuals can affect children too young to read and understand. Books are just words. I have told my kids, "I read that book at (such and such) age and it gave me nightmares." And if needed, I explained why. That put the decision to read or not on them.

When you are in a powerless class, like a child, and someone in power decides there is knowledge you can't have because of the authority's agenda for your life, and you can't even find out why, it makes little difference who that authority is. The solution is not to restrict reading, but to expand it.

They mentioned that literally in the first sentence of the linked article. But strangely, they didn't link it, so thanks.

Agh! Thanks for the heads up. Got it fixed now.

I thought the same thing, because traditional Chinese homes were built this way. Also plenty of hotels, motels, and dorms in the US.

Yeah, my dad selected the cemetery he wanted specifically for that reason. All the markers were the same size, flush to the ground, and no one could try to "outspend" everyone else on a gravestone.

As a matter of fact, it's been done several times.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. Maybe a different post?
