Has Stephen King's Works Been Condemned Yet?

[xville]

For all the books that have been banned and prohibited, I've yet to hear of Stephen King's books being banned or protested against.


I guess I could rustle up some torches and pitchforks and march on the library.

I think we owe it to him.

Quite a few have been challenged or banned from school libraries. You can find more info on the American Library Association site.

It was Stephen's decision to not allow future printings--it wasn't banned.

Hi,

Wasn't Carrie banned in some middle-schools?

I can't remember where I heard that.

Long days and pleasant nights

It's very sad that groups of Americans feel they have the right to block access to authors just because they feel that the subject matter is inapropriate. It's fine if you feel that content is inapropriate for your kids, but if I feel that my (hypothetical and imaginary) kids can handle it, then I'm gonna let them read it anyway. In my opinion, the banning of books only increases the desire to read the books anyway. If parents don't want their kids reading something, then they shoud become more proactive in their children's lives rather than trying to legislate morality for everyone else.

I don't believe any of his books i've read should be banned . I heard Catcher in the Rye, put the school boards in an up roar in the day, and that is one of my fav. books.

Heard of rage?
My mum doesn't like it though but she doesn't like me reading/watching anything remotely violent. She's not a Stephen King fan anyway.
