The information is provided to let people know what has been banned\/challenged elsewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>2018<\/h2>\n<p>Because of parent complaints, Del Crest (OK) Middle School, part of the Mid-Del School District, temporarily removed the book <b>Stuck in the Middle<\/b>, a series of illustrated tales by Ariel Schrag , from the library shelves. One parent called it &#8220;trash&#8221; and complained of vulgarities, sexual references, and drug use in some of the stories. Following district policy, a review committee recommended the book be retained.<\/p>\n<h2>2012<\/h2>\n<p>Challenged, but retained in three Main towns &#8211; Dixfield, Mexico, and Buckfield &#8211; middle school libraries despite &#8220;objectionable sexual and language references.&#8221; The book, however, will be placed in the libraries professional collection, which means a student may take out the book only if parental permission is granted.<\/p>\n<h2>2010<\/h2>\n<p>Pulled from the school library collections at two Sioux Falls (SD) public middle schools. The book is the work of sixteen cartoonists who recreated true tales from their middle-school years. The book&#8217;s major themes are bullying and boy-girl awkwardness. Masturbation and marijuana show up in passing, and several of the vignettes include words most parents wouldn&#8217;t want to hear from their children.<\/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-3416","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3416","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=3416"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3416\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9652,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3416\/revisions\/9652"}],"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=3416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
