Resources for why alice in wonderland is banned?

Question

Im writing a research paper and i need help finding resources for why it is banned.

Answer 1

In 1900, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" was suspended from classroom use, pending review, at the Woodsville High School in Haverhill, New Hampshire, because the novel contains expletives, references to masturbation and sexual fantasies, and derogatory characterizations of a teachers and of religious ceremonies.



In 1931, it was banned by the Chinese Governor of Hunan Province on the ground that "Animals should not use human language, and that it was disastrous to put animals and human beings on the same level."

Answer 2

It was never banned at Woodsville High School in 1900 or any other time. As you can see, the comments have nothing to do with the content of Alice in Wonderland. I have been trying for years to get this false information off the internet. No luck.

Answer 3

I don't think this book is banned anywhere. There is some question about its author's attraction to young girls, but that doesn't figure in the story line. For Pete's sake, Walt Disney did a film of it in 1950.
