Original Note:
Many children’s authors — such as Dav Pilkey, Katherine Paterson, and Judy Blume, to name a few — have their books banned for various reasons. Banned books ≠ age-inappropriate books, and conflating the two is not a matter of opinion, but a falsehood. https://www.aclu.org/news/national-security/fighting-captain-underpants https://bannedbooks.library.cmu.edu/katherine-paterson-bridge-to-terabithia/ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0306422015605719a#:~:text=In%20a%201993%20article%20for,evil%20behaviour%20to%20go%20unpunished.
