As a teacher, you will encounter the issue of censorship within schools (for example, from banned books to internet filtering).
Freedom to Read is a website that provides information and resources on censorship issues in Canada.
When the Censor Comes is a booklet designed for educators that offers information on censorship and dealing with would-be censors.
What do you think of this?
Last month, the Merriam-Webster's 10th Collegiate Edition dictionary was banned in a Californian elementary school classroom. It has since made its way back to the shelves, but with strings attached:
"...return copies of the dictionary to fourth and fifth grade students, along with a letter to parents asking for signed permission to allow their children to use them. Teachers will maintain a list of those students allowed to use the dictionary."
