Great article! I’m writing my Junior Research Paper about a banned book and I selected \The Golden Compass.\ I read it as a middle-schooler and loved it for its links to theology and its thought stimulating content. I was mesmerized by how it challenged my young mind, and, when I re-read it as a high-schooler, I have delved into the topics and now understand the undertones and intentions of the trilogy. I am ANTI banning books, people should be allowed to read things that are akin to their ways of thinking and totally against it in order to decide more effectively what their morals and opinions are!!

I love what Mr. Pullman–whose audiobooks I have really enjoyed, by the way–has to say there in response to the question. I have said the same thing in response to the “ban this, ban that” crowd: you do not have a right to not be offended. Anyhow, very cool write up and I like the video comment.

I love the point that Philip Pullman makes in this video.
