Season 7 of Banned Camp Begins....

Banned Camp: Banned Books, Comedy, and Free Speech vs. Censorship

In this special episode of Banned Camp, Jennifer and Dan get political (sort of) as they prepare for Season 7. The Scary Book People have the power to decide which banned book they will cover next, with five exciting (and controversial) options to choose from. The five contenders include:

• The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
• Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor
• The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
• Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
• Lord of the Flies by William Golding

We need your help deciding which banned book to cover next season! Will it be The Handmaid’s Tale for its controversial portrayal of women’s rights? Or maybe Lord of the Flies with its dark look at human nature? Email your vote to [email protected] before Thursday, and make your voice heard!
