My thoughts are that its bull, there are some books (Ok so a lot) that are inappropriate for kids, but that doesnt mean they need to have limits in place. Kids should be able to read whatever they choose, what about little kids who are more advanced in reading, will this mean they are not allowed to pick up certain chapter books? And how would they enforce it anyway? What would happen to libraries I am fully against any limits on books!
Kids should be able to read whatever they chose? And what do you say to the fact that many kids don't read nearly 1/2 as much as the generation two decades ahead of them? Would you only have them read what grabs their eyes? Can you tell me what that would be for teen girls versus teen boys.
Nothing would happen to the libraries. Many already have a system in place. Mere content in a library is a huge turn-off for many younger readers.
What they're talking about, from my understanding of it isn't something to KEEP kids from reading -- it is to HELP them to read by allowing parents and teachers to know a book's reading age level spelling, comprehension, and vocabulary wise.
