It’s About Advocacy

• In this age of censorship, I mourn the loss of books that will never be written. I mourn the voices that will be silenced -- writers’ voices, teachers’ voices, students’ voices -- and all because of fear [of censorship]. – Judy Blume in Places I Never Meant to Be

Manifesto by Ellen Hopkins

To you zealots and bigots and falsepatriots who live in fear of discourse.You screamers and banners and burnerswho would force booksoff shelves in your brand nameof greater good.

Page 38: 2012 kasl the forbidden banned books

Manifesto by Ellen Hopkins

You say you're afraid for children,innocents ripe for corruptionby perversion or sorcery on the page.But sticks and stones do breakbones, and ignorance is no armor.You do not speak for me,and will not deny my kids magicin favor of miracles.

Manifesto by Ellen Hopkins

You say you're afraid for America,the red, white, and blue corrodedby terrorists, socialists, the sexuallyconfused. But we are a vast quiltof patchwork cultures and multi-genderedidentities. You cannot speak for thosewhose ancestors braved different seas.

Manifesto by Ellen Hopkins

You say you're afraid for God,the living word eroded by Muhammedand Darwin and Magdalene.But the omnipotent sculptor of heavenand earth designed intelligence.Surely you dare not speakfor the father, who openshis arms to all.

Manifesto by Ellen Hopkins

A word to the unwise.Torch every book.Char every page.Burn every word to ash.Ideas are incombustible.And therein lies your real fear.
