Books and More for Children and Teens

firstamendmentcenter.org: news offers the sad article that a Florida elementary school has decided to remove Anastasia Again! by Lois Lowry from the school library shelves. A parent had asked for the entire Anastasia series to be banned, but the school board removed the single book.

After serving on a couple of committees for our local school, I wonder what their process was and whether they had a committee of community members and if so what that committee recommended. Both committees that I have served on talked at length about the Freedom to Read and parental rights, conversations that usually lead to the retention of books.
