I chose to display this graph on my blog as a visual example of the reasons that are cited when books are challenged. The graph is based on the 10, 415 challenges made against books that are currently on file with the American Library Association (ALA). According the graph, the top three reasons for challenging books are sexuality, language, and unsuitability for a certain age group.
