Many books are banned throughout the world. Some wern't meant maliciously, others were.
Why a book is banned or challenged....
Sex-The Joy of Sex was challenged because of (what else)? Sex!
Violence-I know why the Caged Bird Sings is one of them.
Language-The Catcher in the Rye and if this was ever a movie...it would be Rated R!
Blasphemy-The Satanic Verses is one of those books.
Prejudice-Gone With The Wind has been challenged many times, and if you see the movie...just watch the scene where Scarlett yells at Prissy.
Nudity-In the Night Kitchen has been challenged because you see Mickey's (gasp)! Ding-a-Ling! (Why can't you just use a fig leaf)?
And the Bible has probably all the above (Never boil a young sheep in its mother's milk? I think that's why Jews don't eat cheeseburgers)!
