Drug use/selling

Sexuality

Improper language

-----------------------------------

The book was banned because parents don't want their kids to know anything about reality. It's real and it's out there. I don't understand why you would want to shelter your kids all their live's and then wonder why they don't function when they get out in the real world.

it was mainly banned because the usage she has with drugs an how much she gets addicted; also the way she describes her sex life and her profanily with her language use

There is very little information available about the banning of Alice in Wonderland. It is difficult to find reliable evidence that it ever was banned, much less information on what saved it.

The sum total of information on Alice's brush with censorship available on the internet amounts to this:


Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Lewis Carroll
1900
Suspended from classroom use, pending review, at the Woodsville High School in Haverhill, New Hampshire, because the novel contains expletives, references to masturbation and sexual fantasies, and derogatory characterizations of a teachers and of religious ceremonies.
1931
Banned by the Chinese Governor of Hunan Province on the ground that "Animals should not use human language, and that it was disastrous to put animals and human beings on the same level."

The claim about the Woodsville High School banning is unsourced, and the claim about the Hunan Province ban appears to trace back to a single book, Banned Books 387 B.C. to 1978 A.D., by Anne Lyon Haight, and Chandler B. Grannis, R.R. Bowker Co, 1978. No other evidence seems to be available online, and it is therefore difficult to know whether either of these claims is relaible.
