Why is Charlotte's Web a banned book?
For example, in 2006 “Charlotte's Web,” by E.B. White, was banned
because “talking animals are blasphemous and unnatural
.” Some versions of William Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” were banned in South Carolina because they were too mature, which I guess is frowned upon there.
