Book challenge updates.

  • Due to the recent challenge to Terry Trueman's Stuck in Neutral, Humble Independent School District (TX) is going to re-visit their policy on supplemental reading material.
  • By a 4-2 vote, Nickel and Dimed will stay in the curriculum at the high school in Easton, PA.
  • The Executive Editor of the Broken Arrow Ledger (OK) has written an editorial in which he argues that, due to its content, Carter Finally Gets It doesn't belong in a school library. At one point, he says, "It is supposedly a recommended read for 8- to 10-year-old students. Are you kidding me?", which suggests to me that he hasn't even read the book that he's railing against. Which seems like a less-than-brilliant move for a journalist to make.
