Marshall University does not ban books! The information is provided to let people know what has been banned/challenged elsewhere.
2006
Restricted, but later, based upon a review committee’s recommendations, returned to general circulation shelves with some limits on student access in the Holt Middle School library in Fayetteville (AR) despite a parent’s complaint that it was sexually explicit. Relocated to the Reference section of the Northern Hills Elementary School media center in Onalaska (WI) because a parent complained about its frank yet kid-friendly discussion of reproductive topics.
2004
Moved from the young adult to the adult section of the Fort Bend County Libraries in Richmond (TX). Also moved to the restricted section of the Fort Bend School Districts media centers after a resident complained via email about the book’s content.
