Censors never go after books unless kids already like them. I donโt even think they know to go after books until they know that children are interested in reading this book, therefore there must be something in it thatโs wrong.
Judy BlumeI thought [books ban] was crazy. Really my thoughts were "This is America, we don't do this here" but of course I know a lot better now. And I wasn't the only one. Norma Klein was writing at the same time. Her books were going. So many of us. When you say to me, no you can't do this I say, oh yes I can.
Judy BlumeIf all you leave in the library is books that you think speak to everyone, what are you going to have? You'd have nothing.
