The information is provided to let people know what has been banned\/challenged elsewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>2022<\/h2>\n<p>Challenged at Redwood High School, part of the Visalia Unified School District (CA),  Jerry Jensen argued that the book establishes the \u201cvictimhood\u201d of people of color and does not represent \u201cmy America.\u201d Community members and parents spoke out in favor of the textbook which is part of the curriculum for a pilot program offering elective ethnic studies courses. A white male student stated the ethnic studies course expanded his \u201cknowledge of our multicultural world.\u201d He went on to say, \u201cI\u2019ve never learned these things in required social studies courses. None of my fellow classmates or parents of classmates have any issues with our curriculum or the book we are reading.\u201d A board member thought the the author&#8217;s suicide did not present the best role model for students, but she did not comment on the other authors who had committed suicide that were taught in other classes. The school board president stated that a committee of ethnic studies teachers, students, and community members will be formed as part of the community discussion to be held on the pilot program and textbook. <\/p>\n<h2>On These Pages<\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>Banned<\/strong> book has been removed from a library, classroom, etc.<br \/>\nA <strong>Challenged<\/strong> book has been requested to be removed from a library, classroom, etc.<\/p>\n<h2>For additional information contact<\/h2>\n<p>Ron Titus, <a href=\"mailto:titus@marshall.edu\">titus@marshall.edu<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"tel:304-696-6575\">304-696-6575<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Last updated<\/h2>\n<p>August 17, 2022<\/p>\n<p><!-- ** ** END RIGHT COLUMN *** *-->\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><!-- *** * END FULL PAGE DIV * *** --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":784,"featured_media":0,"parent":2039,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-full-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11545","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/784"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11545"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11549,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11545\/revisions\/11549"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
