Banned Books Week: 2012 (Fifty Shades of Censorship)

http://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/fifty-shades-censorship

This week is marks the 30^th anniversary of Banned Books Week, an annual event that celebrates the freedom to read and calls attention to the wealth of creative expression that is stifled when books can be barred from library shelves. The ACLU has always believed that our country functions best when citizens exercise their right to freely explore the world around them, and, we’ll be blogging about banned books and censorship all week. Join the conversation using #IReadBannedBooks.
