The number of controversial children's books was initially shocking to me. It makes sense when you think about it. I guess its better to have parents/guardians who actually care and pay attention to what their children are reading and face complaints, than having parents who don't care. It's hard to do anything without stepping on somebody's toes. And as a teacher, I am sure I will come across many of these situations/confrontations. I will always remain open minded. People are entitled to their opinion, though I may not always agree with it.
