Every year disgruntled parents and guardians, and even teachers, argue over new books and old books that teachers should not allow students to read in the classroom. It literally happens every year, so the American Library Association (ALA) released the The Top Ten List of Most Frequently Challenged Books, and they just released the list for 2011.

This year’s most anticipated blockbuster, The Hunger Games, sees its source material on the list, The Hunger Games trilogy written by Suzanne Collins. Some do not find this surprising as the book does feature young children and teens killing each other in a brutal reality television setting.

It is no surprise that 2011 saw several attempts at book banning. The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) received 326 reports regarding attempts to remove or restrict materials from being taught in school curriculums as well as attempts to remove them from library bookshelves. According to the ALA a challenge is defined as a formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that a book or other material be restricted or removed because of its content or appropriateness.
