YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - YSU professor and author Chris Barzak discusses the rising movements in several states to ban certain books from the classroom, including one of his own. Barzak says that while the thought process behind these bans is harmful, he remains optimistic that they will actually backfire and encourage more people to read. Barzak's book, "Wonders of the Invisible World," was included on a list of 850 books targeted for banning by a Texas State representative.
