Joseph Henry JacksonDid you ever hear anyone say, 'That work had better be banned because I might read it and it might be very damaging to me'?
About This Quote
If the people who write books and publish them also do not want their work to be read, then the people who read the books don’t have a right to read them. The books that are banned in this case would be those that have been written by people with mental problems that have been asked to be banned. So, banning books is nothing but misleading the public.
