    Lost the Plot: A Court of Reasons Why, Sometimes Books Aren't Appropriate

    CONTENT WARNING: There are mentions of sexually explicit content, death by suicide, and other heavy topics along with mild spoilers. Taylor and Lillian discuss the banning of "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas and "13 Reasons Why" by Jay Asher. They explore themes of censorship and the impact of literature on young audiences. Not all content is appropriate for young adults, which can be seen in the sexually explicit series "A Court of Thorns and Roses" and the idolization of suicide in "13 Reasons Why." In contrast to the previous episodes, we argue for the banning of certain content, toeing the line between what should and should not be banned in schools and who has the right to decide what literature is appropriate.
