I don't have any problems with Animal Farm by George Orwell, but I noticed on the banned book list that it wasn't there. Any one have a reason why?

The banned book campaign was mostly community driven whereas a city council or school committee would not allow it be purchased for a public library or available to school children. Yes books have been banned nationwide in the first half of the 20th Century for being "obscene" or an affront to American Values. Such books were not allowed to be printed domestically or imported into the US. Henry Miller, a Great American writer spent many years in Europe and practically all his books (Tropic of Cancer/Tropic of Cancer) were banned in the US until the late 50's

What banned book list? Perhaps the people who make up the list figure it's been long enough that people will not recognize the dynamics as still in force today. They are, though. It is NOT merely historical by any means.

Actually, George Orwell was a blatant anti-communist, which automatically labeled him a nazi in some circles. He had no real criticism of naziism, until ww2 started and the germans began bombing england.

Why should any book be banned? And where did you get that list?

I'm sure it's probably banned in some places... thankfully, not in America.
