Of course, parents or schools have the discretion to limit access to certain kinds of books that may not be appropriate for a child’s age or if the book’s contents are questionable and inappropriate. According to this article, the number of challenged books have gone up in 2013. Some questionable inclusions in banned books list are enumerated in this article.
