Shepherd's Granddaughter

Recently, there has been several controversies and issues about the Red Maple book, "Shepherd's Granddaughter", however, in my opinion I think that the "Shepherd's Granddaughter" should NOT be pulled out from Red Maple or taken away from libraries either. This is because it isn't fair that just because of this controversy, others who want to read it can't. Plus this book is fiction which means the text in the book can be fake or real. This book shouldn't be banned just because some people don't want others to hate Israelis'. If people don't want to read it, let them not, but if they do, they shouldn't not be allowed to. Even though I haven't yet read this book, (and yes I did say yet) based on what I've heard this book isn't so bad, and if it is, it wouldn't be chosen as a Red Maple book. Other people liked this book, and it should be kept in the Red Maple category because of that. You can't ban a book if it's liked by others. Even if it speaks badly about the Israelis', people don't have to believe it!

The TDSB and the adults should also get a say in this however. Because they know what's good for us and also the right decisions on things (particularly on educational purposes) They also know whats good for us, but have that saying, we should also get a say in it as well! Because we know what's good for us as well and we make good decisions too! XD Like, I think this book shouldn't get banned, but other people may think differently, so they should put a vote about it! Majority wins. That's the fair way of doing it (and the pro way... XD)

Finally, Anne Laurel Carter has put a lot of work towards this book. So if this book gets banned, it's not fair to her. All of her hard work, gone! Even if the book is true or not, Anne's works shouldn't be banned just like any other authors.

Now that I have stated my reasons to this pressing matter, I conclude that Shepherd's Granddaughter should not be banned from libraries or the Red Maple category! My decision is strict! :D
