Hernando: Hernando schools won't ban book

The book Deenie by Judy Blume is not banned from the school, but students at Spring Hill Elementary School will need a note from home to read it. Both the school superintendent and the review committee recommended that the book be removed from the library, but the school board disagreed.

One wonders what these people on the review committee were reading in their youth. After all, Deenie is remarkable 31 years old!

I read this book for a school project and i really enjoyed it. I think it should be allowed in high school but no in grade schools.

I think this booked shouldn`t been banned cause everyone is going to go through it at one point or another in life.
