The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian which was
pulled from a school in Georgia after complaints. The best part: superintendent
Shawn Tobin's proposal that “Employee[s] will confirm reading material is free of vulgar language, sexual content, racial insults or demeaning religious connotations.” So that leaves...nothing. Nothing at all. Despite his statement that "
“Do I want to ban books? Absolutely not. I’m not trying to get rid of Huckleberry Finn,”if his proposal should pass than Huckleberry Finn would be right out.
