Banned Books

I believe the banned books effect our country, because it offends people, since most of the banned books usually have racist or sexual content in the book. Yes, I have read some of the books in the banned book list, I don't really find any the books offensive usually the books are like discribing how it was back then with all the racistsim. i say it affects schools , you know because I believe it doesn't help us if the government bann books, since when we read something that involves racism, it probably might help us prevent us do it, since if we learn our past mistakes we learn how to fix them
