The school district of San Juan Capistrano banned the series of vampire books. This seemed like an interesting article by SCOTT MARTINDALE. The article is called School district briefly bans vampire books from middle schools it was posted on The Orange County Register. The book was removed only for four days. The reason they tried to ban it because they said it wasn’t appropriate for junior high school. What disturbed them was the content on the book about teenage love it was just to mature for their age. The librarians found out about this situation by e-mail to remove the books. If they decide to remove the book and in order to get these books back they need to go through a long process to see if the books will be remove or not. The book is generally about a seventeen year old girl that ends up falling in love with a vampire without her even knowing that he’s a vampire. The book has been very popular more through teenagers and has sold about then million copies. There’s also a list of books that has been trying to be remove from schools from the United States and other school districts that has been trying to remove their own individual books. The point that they are trying to do here is try to prevent from teaching this entire adult context to students. When really at a certain age like eight graders or even the first year of junior high school students already think through their actions. When they read this type of books they won’t really do this type of actions that happen in the book.
