Alice in
Wonderland or Alice’s
Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
The earliest
known banning of this book was in 1900 from a high school in New Hampshire. It
was banned on the basis that it contained coarse language and sexual innuendo
and “derogatory characterizations of teachers and religious ceremonies.” One of the most absurd cases of banning was
in 1931 by a governor in China because “animals should not use human language,
and that it was disastrous to put animals and human beings on the same level.” It has also been challenged more recently
because of claims that it encourages drug use and child abuse.
