Should Music be Censored?

Why are there so many outcries to ban rock and gangsta rap? Why does our government want to censor music? Is it really the violence that comes from the lyrics of the songs, and the attitudes that it creates, both positive and negative? People say that the things they want to censor are bad, but are those materials really bad? Could these music types be referred to as bad things just because they are new, …

…There have been many threats to censor music in the past but none have really followed through. There will always be people such as Bob Dole and Tipper Gore who want to censor material but very few will succeed, as shown in the past. People will always have the right not to view material that they find offensive, but if the material is banned, people will not have the right to view it at all.
