Wha tis it about freedom people hate? Don't read the books if you don't like them. Banning is never an answer to anything.

And does the phrase "required reading" make your option (Don't read the books if you don't like them.) a plausible choice for the 15-17 year olds in the high school classes, which btw, have mandatory attendance and truancy laws attached to them?

Don't read the books if you don't like them.

She wants them removed from classroom use, i.e, not ASSIGNED. The kids don't have a choice to not read the books. I agree with the earlier poster (forget who): as a school board member, reviewing the books assigned for reading is exactly what she's supposed to be doing. Good for her. I wonder how many of the other board members read any of them?

This isn't about "banning" books. It's about a school board member doing her job deciding what is appropriate for kids to read.
