I think its sometimes the message behind the movie. I dont think bad language or extreme
violence and even racist characters because sometimes thats how the movie is filmed thats the
plot line.

I believe that lawn boy by jonathan evison shouldve not been banned. I believe that because it
was about a coming of age story and the lead finding self discovery as a gay man. How i would
try to convince a school to bring back the book into a reading list is by convincing them that a
lgbtq story and coming of age is not entirely bad its more real then other book. It connect more
with the teens.
