KIlling Mr. Griffin was banned for inappropriate language an example is a few hell's and damns sprinkled here and there buit its is not too serious. The book was banned because a few overprotective parents thought their "angel" is too pure too read a book with a few no no words and some suggestive themes. People need to relax and stop being so anal about everything because some things are not that serious. An example from the text is: " There-thats it! Get the rope around him! Damned bastard's a wildcat! You can say that again."
Some other people think that if might give children ideas about killing teachers. First off in the book they didn't kill the teacher, he had a heart attack. And also it is perfectly normal to have certain feelings toward teachers you don't like. But thats what they remain, feelings, not many people are nuts enough to go kill their teacher and the ones who are they had problems way before reading Killing Mr. Griffin. So this shouldn't have been banned it's a discredit to Lois Duncan. "I wonder what Mr. Griffin looks like without his glasses, Betsy said. She spoke without opening her eyes. Fragile? Like he needs to be taken care of? Are you kidding? Jeff started to laugh. We'll take them off before we blindfold him."
