why was charlotte's web banned

Charlotte's Web was banned in some places, notably in a Kansas school district in 2006, mainly because some parents and groups found the talking animals in the book to be blasphemous or unnatural. They believed that only humans should have the ability to communicate vocally, so portraying animals with human speech abilities was seen as disrespectful to God. Additionally, some criticized passages about the spider dying as inappropriate for children. This ban reflects a broader context of book censorship driven by efforts to control narratives and restrict access to certain ideas, rather than the content itself having any explicit objectionable material. There is no widely verified official source identifying the exact school district, and some question the story's veracity, but the core reason cited for banning Charlotte's Web is the religious objection to talking animals.
