Should books have ratings like movies to warn parents about inappropriate content?

Exactly what the title says.

VS.

No

Side Score: 3

I think this a good idea. There are some objectionable books out there and parents should be educated about them before their children pick those books up and start reading them.

My opinion is no, I wouldn't like it if there were ratings on books. If you put a label on something, or tell someone(mostly kids) that it is banned, taboo, forbidden, what do you think will be the result? It will usually make them more interested in acquiring the book. They might pursue other ways to read about the content you are censoring. In fact, many might find it a lot more cool or mysterious or exciting if a warning label dictates it is not appropriate to read about.

Yes, so why not do it??

Wouldn't that spark an interest in books among teens and whatnot?

I think it is a wonderful idea now, simply for that reason.

People are getting smarter and technology is getting better. They would just try to find it online or at least read it's description. If we ban them, children would have another reason to read them: They cannot read it. Nowadays, there are more books on all those nasty things, so there is no way to stop this action. Well, at least for now....

Side: No
