Re: Being Pro-Censorship
My elementary school did that. I don't think you could just ask for a restricted book though: the kids that were allowed to read up were given blanket permissions to read higher grades or given totally unrestricted access.
Of course, I don't think a library should stock literally every book, but kids need to encounter painful, upsetting, or difficult things in the safety of a book.
I agree. We tend to think "someone older could deal with X content better" but part of that is because with exposure and experience comes coping ability and a greater ability to understand. You have to build that up somehow, and books are a good way.
More challenging material should be available (whether restricted or not) because for kids that are intellectually gifted or more mature, school can already be a boring and stifling place. Making them read Junie B. Jones when they should be reading Moby Dick isn't helping them, it's throwing them under the bus in the name of protecting other kids from those books.
