Questions about The Chocolate War, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and three others in Idaho.

From the Spokesman Review:

The Coeur d'Alene School Board plans to decide if restrictions need to be placed on "Fallen Angels" by Walter Dean Myers, "Dancing at the Rascal Fair" by Ivan Doig, "The Chocolate War" by Robert Cormier, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou, "Snow Falling on Cedars" by David Guterson, and "Beloved" by Toni Morrison.

Cormier's book has already been restricted by requiring parental permission at some schools in the district, but not for high school students, which is what some parents want. "Fallen Angels" is also available to high school students, but not younger students without parental permission.

According to this article, the question isn't whether or not the books should be used in classrooms -- it's whether or not high school students should be required to get a permission slip signed before checking the books out of the school library.
