Did you know that the famous scientist and astronomer Galileo was censored? Censorship is not as recent as most people think. The Roman Catholic Church has been censoring material that they feel is inappropriate since the Middle Ages, including secular music and philosophical viewpoints of the world. Censorship, in any form, is a terrible thing because it takes away from our basic human rights. Not only does it violate the first amendment of the Bill of Rights, which gives US citizens a “freedom” to say what they want, but censorship also takes away individuals right to make their own decisions. It is used for revenge, punishment, and other unjust reasons as well. Censorship must cease before it gets to be out of control.
