    Book banning satisfies their need to feel in control of their children's lives.

I was once listening to a pastor talk about watching movies with his kids. He advised parents always pre-screen movies, even G-rated ones, to be sure the children in the movie never disobey or disrespect their parents. He believed that, even if the parents are wrong, if he isolates his children from any negativity towards parents, he will remain in control.
