Why is this book banned?
BTW, just screaming 'pRoVe It' (or the like) isn't the finishing move you think it is
Not a widespread by any means I was just trying to point out even the most harmless of children's books can get (effectively) banned at any moment by any whim.

Answer: "Across Florida for a time (maybe still?) and several areas in California but for completely different reasons. Next question?"
Or were you confused because I cites examples in two states?

I never claimed "Several areas in California" was a "school district." Unless you'd care to quote me saying that? Otherwise I'm really sorry you misunderstood my very simple statement however that was a failure in your comprehension...I can't help you there.
And I never claimed "all of Florida" either. I said "across Florida." Not the same claim or statement. For example the statement "it is raining across Florida" doesn't mean that every square inch of Florida is receiving rain. (3...2...1.... someone is going to start nitpicking my analogy
I'll provide links when you provide direct quotes of me saying either of these statements you seem to be arguing with. Did I also kick your dog too?

"Maurice Sendak's picture book faced many opponents immediately after its publication in 1963. Readers believed Where the Wild Things Are was psychologically damaging and traumatizing to young children due to Max's inability to control his emotions and his punishment of being sent to bed without dinner. Psychologists called it "too dark", and the book was banned largely in the south. It has also been challenged several times for its images of witchcraft and supernatural elements."
