Title

Banned Books: Banned and Controversial Books

Description

Banned Books is an online bookstore, one stop shopping for thought-provoking & paradigm-shifting books, videos and audio tapes. Banned Books is owned and was conceived by Truth Seeker Company, an independent publisher of books and educational video and audio tapes, located in San Diego, California. Truth Seeker is celebrating 127 years of Freethought in 1998. The Truth Seeker Journal is the world's oldest Freethought journal, since 1873.

We are also a book site with a mission. Because we knew that many of our books and ideas were controversial, and did not fall within the genre of mainstream thought, we developed the concept of Banned Books. In addition to just creating an online bookstore to showcase our publications, we added a wealth of information on bookbanning and censorship. We realized at the time there was a shortage of such information on the Internet. Those sites which did give some information on censorship, none listed the groups, individuals or entities doing the banning/censoring. After considerable research, a list began to emerge, showing that in nearly every case, it was government or religious entities which were guilty of censorship and bookbanning, despite our First Amendment protections in the U.S. Constitution. It became apparent that our own churches and political leaders would continue to reel their ugly heads at us in approval or disapproval regardless of what the Constitution states or meant.

This abuse of power by self-anointed guardians of morality must be vigilantly watched and exposed at every opportunity. Freedom isn't free and it is our mission to defend that freedom. In order to protect our rights, Banned Books believes it is important to keep the public informed of such Constitutional abuses by government and religious entitites. We urge you to inform us of any and all incidents of bookbanning and/or censorship in your home town or school district. We will then add them to our lists of Books, Authors and/or those doing the banning.
