Based on some of the high school students I have met recently, I would say that it is more important to get them to read books, any books, than to spend so much time criticizing certain books that may be in school libraries.
This story is about a board member from one high school who objects to classroom usage of several books. That is, required reading and study of selected books.
Surely a board member has a right to voice an opinion about removing certain books from required reading in favor of more quality material.
