Make the Decision: To Ban or Not to Ban. To Kill a Mockingbird has been the subject of many censorship attempts. Research the reasoning behind banning the novel as well as the support provided to keep the novel in schools.  Create two letters to the school board: one in support of the novel and one against the use of the novel in classrooms.  Both letters should have hard evidence found through research.  Both letters should be no less than two and a half pages, double spaced, 12 point font.
