It is my personal opinion that books should never be banned from schools. If they don't the books taught in the school system that's fine, just let the book be offered in the library so that student themselves have the chance to go and get it. I also don't think that the pride of Baghdad should be completely ruled out of being taught. Yes it is a current event, and yes it is troubling for some students to hear this story. But this fight could be given to any book out there. While they may not be current event they could focus on a sore subject for one student. The thing is that no matter how much you want to you can't cater to every child's need, it's just not plausible. So while I see where people are coming from when they say that this book shouldn't be taught, I can also see where this book maybe should be taught. To help further educate students on this war and wars in general.
