List of Cons of Censorship in Schools
1. It prevents the nurturing of ideas and opinions in students. Opponents of censorship point out that, when students are prevented from reading certain books or having access to certain materials, they lose the chance to be exposed to learn about new things and ideas. They also miss the opportunity to form their own opinions and feelings about controversial topics and develop critical thinking skills. They might also fail to realize that the world isn’t a perfect place and might find it hard to adjust to an imperfect society as they grow older. 2. It can cause conflicts between parents and teachers. Many times, censorship in schools has caused problems to develop between teachers (who would like to challenge their students’ mind by giving them free access to all kinds of media) and parents (who want to protect their children from morally wrong concepts). These conflicts can affect the children and their studies and leave them feeling confused as to why their parents and teachers are arguing.
