The point of this is to preserve public decency. Imagine what would happen if these things were allowed:
1) If cuss words weren't censored, people would run around calling each other gay bastards (lol this happens anyways but the censor cuts down on it).
2) If nudity weren't banned, people would show up naked to school (and you know that's going to distract you if particularly good looking girls do that, everyone's going to be staring). And if ugly people show up at school naked (omg) that's going to be kinda disturbing. Sorry if this part offends anyone.
3) If sex were allowed, then that increases the rate of rape occurrences.
I learned about censorship too, but I disagree with it. In my view, it's just the school being hypocritical saying that censorship is a bad thing but doing the opposite of what's preached. If they want to teach about censorship, at least teach it right...
I do agree that some of the things are ridiculous though. People banning erotic material (things meant to make you sexually excited) is preserving public decency. People banning whole books because of one small rape passage is wrong.
