Set in India of 1969, the book won the Man Booker Prize. The student complained to her father about its &#8220;inappropriate content.&#8221;  The father reviewed it, and claimed the book contained graphic sexual content that he absolutely &#8220;didn&#8217;t want his children knowing about.&#8221;  A school review committee recommended its withdrawal from all schools. The principal who had immediately removed the list from the school website will now review all reading lists.<\/p>\n<h2>2017<\/h2>\n<p>Challenged and removed in the sophomore-level Academic English II classes at Lemont (IL) High School District 210 because the book &#8220;contains subject matter in some sections that is not appropriate for our students,&#8221; according to the school&#8217;s principal.<\/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 12, 2020<\/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-4816","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4816","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=4816"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4816\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9848,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4816\/revisions\/9848"}],"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=4816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
