"Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads." - George Bernard Shaw

And Tango Makes Three has topped the "challenged" children's books list for the second year in a row. The book is based on the true story of two male penguins who foster a young chick together. The challenges spur from the fact that the book is seen to promote and accept the homosexual lifestyle--which, depending on your viewpoint, may be positive or negative.

From my own perspective, it seems that the books most challenged and censored are the ones that everyone ought to be reading: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Catcher in the Rye. These books provide readers with valuable insight into another time or culture, and the world would be much poorer without them. The same is likely true of the more recent entries to the challenged books list, like And Tango Makes Three.
