Gilbert Grape back in Carroll.

From the Des Moines Register:

The Carroll school board voted to overturn Superintendent Rob Cordes' decision to ban the book from the high school's literature-to-film class. He ousted the book in November after parents complained that its sexual content was not suitable for teenagers.

A special committee — comprised of eight district employees, community members and students — then reviewed the book and recommended that the school board overturn the ban.

The board voted 4-1 Monday to keep the book in the school's library and curriculum. However, students will now need a signed permission slip from their parents to read the 1991 novel.
