Vamos A Cuba

Agustin Blazquez, overpoweringly, argues to prohibit school libraries to have the book Vamos a Cuba and its English counterpart, A Visit to Cuba. Most citizen do not agree with this removal, especially since the reason why the arguing started was because it fails to show a harsh picture of how the people live under Fidel Castro as their communist leader and for all the money that is costing. Furthermore, as you read the book, it doesn't talk about politics, but about the culture, and its landscapes. It all leads to the fact that banning this book is against the Constitution of the United States of America. If the book is not harmful to children why ban it if it could increase their knowledge of other cultures.

If you remove books offensive to one group, then the same rule applies to the other groups. If "Vamos a Cuba" is offensive to Cuban-Americans, then so are all the books about Jews or Iraqi people. Their reason for argument is illogical because it could be used to remove other books about nuclear power from schools if they are considered offensive to preservationist, or to remove books about computers if they offend the Amish. In addition, if you are going to start looking at all the appalling things that books have then sooner or later we won't even need a library.

What would you do with three hundred thousand dollars? Would you waste it on a legal bill that you will not even win? Student, parents, teachers, and principles would rather use this money, not waste it. What is more, with all that money you could buy new books for the library and for the dissimilar subjects, new school boards, new chairs, better programs, better technology in all of the school, and so much more.

The only sagacious reason to remove a book from school is if the book is precarious to the children. Is Vamos a Cuba harmful? No. According to the description from Amazon the book explains about the "land, landmarks, homes, food, clothes, work, transportation, language, school, free time, celebrations, and the art," and nothing from here talks about politics. It doesn't specify any dishonesty about Fidel Castro and about how much they suffer or how much they don't suffer, especially if the book is meant for children of the age of 5. The picture of the happy kids is just showing how kids in every part of the world are, because no matter where kids are kids will be kids
