   Comments: I came into contact with the petition trying to BAN the books at a Northridge soccer game, and I was outraged. These books are classics, and are recognized as so by many different organizations. We should not allow overly prude parents remove this important part of their childrens education. Your children are in high school now, they hear much worse in the hallways (and most likely from their own mouths) than anything in these books. What's next Community book burnings at the library

   Comments: I believe diversity of literature is important to students in high school. It broadens their opinions on issues sometimes discussed in these books. For those adults/parents who believe these books are too vulgar for their children, maybe they should walk down our hallways sometime. The books would look elementary after that experience.

   Comments: This is absolutely ridiculous. Stop sheltering your children, parents! Before you jump on the drama bandwagon, not wanting them reading "vulgar" books, why don't you pay attention to the parties, drugs, alcohol and friends with bad influences that are being SHOVED in their faces, each and every day! Northridge has an amazing English department and I hate to see this school being brought down in such a liberal way. These teachers put their students above anything else and are 100% dedicated to doing what is right for them! All they are doing is exposing students to real world literature that will do nothing but expand their knowledge. I think this material would be one of the best things for the kids at Northridge! I wish parents would get a little more educated before diving, head first, into such a controversial subject!

    Comments: Many students have read these books and been just fine. Northridge has a fantastic english department and should be aloud to teach whatever they choose.

    Comments: This is just ignorant and if such things do happen, it would just prove that Northridge would become just another hick school out in the middle of no where with LIMITED EDUCATION for the students. Living in Columbus now, people ask me where I grew up and went to school. They are surprised to hear I grew up in the country and I am still literate and intelligent. Let's keep surprising people by letting our children have the same if not better education we had. It is our duty, not only as the parents and guardians of these kids, but as Americans to make sure our future is full of intelligent, well-rounded individuals that will actually contribute something to society.

    Comments: This is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. These are classic books, I think there are bigger things to worry about like what your kids are watching on TV or looking at on the internet or the video games that they are playing. If they dont want their kids reading these books, home school them or send them to a christian school but dont punish the rest of us!!!!!!!!

    Comments: Good literature should not be banned from schools because of bad language and/or some sexual content. If it is used appropriately in context and gets a point across, it should not been deemed inappropriate. Many of these books have been taught for years. If teachers felt they were inappropriate for their students, these novels would not have been included in the curriculum in the first place.

    Comments: This is absolutely ridicolous. I have never heard of such narrow-minded individuals. It is pathetic if you do not want your child to have any sort of intellect... and heaven forbid individuals....
