nayrt, but I agree. Censorship can sound good when you're theoretically the objective person who's deciding which objectionable material to excise. However, when someone else is in charge, that might mean that they might want to censor around religious issues, women's issues, etc., and all of a sudden the idea doesn't seem so palatable.

Look around the world to see how censorship is applied in other countries to see the many different yardsticks that are used to determine "objectionable".

A friend has an interesting experience when he got a library copy of A Separate Peace when his class was short on school copies. So when he's reading along and gets to the not-very-subtext homosexual parts the rest of the class goes "huh?"

The school copies had carefully censored out all the homosexual subtext.

This. Arguing censorship of "bad" parts in a work of fiction is a non starter for me. I'm not happy with the idea that publishers would decide what parts are too objectionable for me (or my child) to read, even if there is an uncensored text available. I just think it's a bad path to go down. I want the text as it is, and I'll decide for myself.

Exactly. The problem with publishers (or the government) or someone deciding which parts are objectionable is that they could just as soon decide anything they just happen to disagree with is now objectionable. Then that version become the one used in school, or it is cheaper, or whatever, and most people doesn't know there is another version or can't get their hands on it.

That is aside from the fact that cleaning literature and anything else of things we now find objectionable also means not learning about history, and possibly forgetting about bad things that happened to people in the past because it is not even mentioned.

Like how many young Japanese now doesn't understand why people in China or Korea would hate them for what they did during WW2, because the Japanese school books have been editing out that part.
