Banning Prayers in School Opened its day with the singing of "O Canada" and the reciting of the "Lord's Prayer." The prayer was either led by the classroom teacher or recited over the school's public address system. In some schools, passages from the bible were also read. Students from different religious faiths could be absent from school in order to observe religious holidays at their parents' request. In the end, schools would have to use less invasive ways of instilling educational and moral values.

Banned Books in Libraries They banned books because being too sexually explicit or having offensive language. Some people charge that racism should be grounds for banning a particular work. Concerns about graphic violence can also put a book on the endangered reading list. Others decry promotion of counter-majority lifestyles, such as homosexuality. Some of the most famous examples of banned books include Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, James Joyce’s Ulysses, and Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass. Banned Book Week runs every year from September 29 to Oct 1.
