Some may say that the Outsiders should be banned from schools or libraries. I think the outsiders is educational because the poem that Pony said to Johnny, but before Johnny died he told pony to stay gold. The way Johnny explained it was when Johnny about died. he said to stay gold and never give up watching sunsets in a letter.

                 All there drugs are only cigarettes which they smoke for different reasons. They smoke because of there parents dying. They don't mention drugs or alcohol use in the book. They only give heaters (guns) to kids and that teaches kids not to kill other people.
  
               Therefore the Outsiders should not be banned from libraries or schools because its educational. You learn how to be or not to be different people. If you really read this and fully under stand it then its educational. If you don't think so then take it out. its based on a true story because of the author.
