The banning of books in elementary schools comes from stakeholders who prefer not to enable their students to learn about the world for sure. But more importantly, it prevents from students acquiring and building on what we would refer to as empathy - an ability to see the world of others through our own eyes and therefore respond to others from a place of understanding, not hate or rejection or intolerance. Not every student wants to usually read books that have been pulled from shelves but those who do are prevented from understanding something which they want to understand and when they do not understand, they cannot in any way help to repair the world of its ills and intolerance.
