Ten Words

Imagine a situation in which a majority of parents find ten specific words of a library book objectionable and the teacher wishes to include this book on a reading list. Would you agree to having these words blocked out, much like TV producers bleep out objectionable words in a TV program?
Yes, because it is the majority of the parents who agree on those words. I would think differently if it was just a few. Also, it wouldn’t take much to block out just ten words. The teacher will still be able to keep that book on the reading list and everyone will be happy.
I do think the words that the parents didn’t like should be blocked out because it wouldn’t hurt plus it would make the parents happy.

(I hope no one hates me for what I wrote)
