The information is provided to let people know what has been banned\/challenged elsewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>2018<\/h2>\n<p>This YA novel was initially pulled from the Yamhill-Carlton (OR) School District curriculum by the school board after parents complained about its use in a middle school classroom. Agreeing with the parents who disapproved of the profanity in the award-winning book, the board voted to pull it immediately without following district policy. Later the board apologized for its hasty decision and the process was turned over to a reconsideration committee. The committee retained the book.<\/p>\n<h2>2017<\/h2>\n<p>Challenged, but retained on the Chesterfield County (VA) Public Schools&#8217; (CCPS) summer reading list for middle and high school students. Parents called the book &#8220;pornographic&#8221; and filled with &#8220;vile, vile, nasty language.&#8221; The novel is a love story between two misfit teenagers in Nebraska. In response to the controversy, state Senator Amanda Chase said the books on the original lists were &#8220;pornographic&#8221; and &#8220;trash.&#8221; She said that librarians who continued to recommend books that were inconsistent with CCPS&#8217; &#8220;core values&#8221; should be &#8220;dismissed&#8221; after a warning and that the offending books should be removed from school libraries. In the Spring of 2016, a bill (HB 516) passed by the Virginia General Assembly and then vetoed by the governor, would have required parental notification of any works deemed &#8220;sexually explicit.&#8221; The same matter was reviewed by the Virginia Board of Education, which overwhelmingly voted to deny similar regulations, citing the lack of definition of the term &#8220;sexually explicit.&#8221; The board stated that this was a matter for local policy, not a state board. A similar bill (HB 2191) has been introduced in 2017.<\/p>\n<h2>2014<\/h2>\n<p>Retained, despite a challenge by the chairman of the Anoka-Hennepin (MN) School Board because parents of a student objected to the book&#8217;s content, citing its use of profanity and its treatment of sexuality. The Anoka County Library had scheduled a visit by the author, but the event was cancelled due to the controversy. Set in a poor Omaha neighborhood, the story concerns two outsider teens in the 1980s who find a common bond in music amidst poverty, bullying, abuse, racism, and budding sexuality..<\/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 23, 2018<\/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":39,"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-3201","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3201","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\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3201"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3201\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9936,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3201\/revisions\/9936"}],"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=3201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
