"We need limits," said one parent in Dallas, Texas. He believes some books do not belong in school libraries. Many people say that books which have violence or bad words shouldn't be in schools. Some parents want the Hunger Games books removed because they include violence and adult themes. Some people say that parents know what is best for their kids and that they should have the right to decide which books should or should not be allowed in school libraries. Books should meet certain requirements before they are put in schools. If a book is not good for all kids, it should not be in a school library. Most parents don't have time to find out everything their kids are reading. They should be able to trust schools to do that for them.
