30. Absolutely true diary of a part-time
indian by sherman alexie
“Banned in Stockton, Missouri, April 2010
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
by Sherman Alexie was the all-school read for
high school students in Stockton R-1 School
District, Missouri, during 2009-10, but was
removed in the spring after a the parent of an
elementary school student challenged the book
because it does not reflect “community values.”
Other residents disagreed and have defended
the novel and objected to its being banned. The
controversy caused the school board to
reconsider its decision. The Kidsʼ Right to Read
Project sent a letter to the school board urging
the board to reinstate the book.”

“Challenged in Lehigh Acres, Florida,
February 2008The Amazing Bone was
challenged at Sunshine Elementary School in
February 2008 by a parent who objected to a
scene in the book in which robbers try to steal
from the main character (a pig) and brandish
pistols and a dagger. The parent wanted the
book removed from the library. NCAC and
ABFFE worked with the school principal and
provided informational resources on the First
Amendment in schools to the schoolʼs book
review committee. In an interview with a local
TV station, we emphasized the importance of
protecting all parentsʼ First Amendment rights
to decide what their children may read. The
review committee voted on February 8, 2008
to keep The Amazing Bone in the school, and
school officials worked with the parent to
accommodate the family individually.”

33. And Tango Makes Three by Justin
Richardson and Peter Parnell
“Restricted in Loudoun County, Virginia,
February 2008 And Tango Makes Three was
placed on restricted access in all elementary
school libraries throughout Loudoun County in
February 2008. The book was challenged by
one parent who objected to the story of two
male penguins who parent a chick as an attack
on families headed by heterosexuals. The book
was reviewed by two committees of librarians,
teachers, principals, parents, and administrators
at the school and district levels. Both
committees recommended against any
restrictions on the book. Despite these
recommendations, the Superintendent decided
to restrict student access to the book, which was
made available only to teachers or parents.
ABFFE and NCAC sent a letter to the
Superintendent urging him to reverse his
decision, and our comments on the issue were
printed in the Loudoun Times-Mirror. We also
provided resources on book challenge policies
and the First Amendment in schools to members
of the school board. The Superintendent later
returned the book to circulation based on
“procedural errors” in the review process.”

36. Forever By Judy BLume
“Challenged in Farmington, MO, March-May
2010 Forever is enduring a challenge in
Missouri this spring because a Farmington
teacher is pushing to ban the book, not an
offended parent or activist. The 8th Grade
reading teacher who assigned the book
(directed to the NCAC by Ms. Blume herself) is
one of the small number of teachers in the
school who are against the banning of books. In
the course of this challenge, normal procedures
have been upended: the schoolʼs administration
pulled Forever without following established
challenge procedures, and in a reversal of
normal policy are now requiring the reading
teacher to file papers (if she dares) to protest
the banning of this young adult classic. The
Farmington drama is not yet concluded; stay
tuned to learn how the NCAC continues its
efforts to keep Forever on Farmingtonʼs
shelves.”

“Challenged in Winchester, Kentucky, October
2007 The Golden Compass was challenged in
Winchester, KY, in October 2007 by parents and
some local Christian leaders who believed it to
be anti-Christian. The school board appointed a
review committee to read the book and make
recommendations to the board. ABFFE and
NCAC sent letters to the committee and the
school board in support of the book. In addition,
the Catholic League, a national advocacy
organization, urged parents to keep their
children from seeing the new film, The Golden
Compass, for fear that it would encourage kids
to read the book, which they condemn as anti-
Christian. We created a web page to track
challenges to the book and provide resources
for opposing them.”

39. The Higher Power of Lucky By Susan
Patron
“The word “scrotum” in February 2007 made
the Newbery Award-winning novel the subject of
controversy among authors and librarians
across the country. Following a report in the
New York Times, the story of Patronʼs
challenged book received national attention,
and many school librarians hesitated to
purchase the book for their collections. Susan
Patron is the Juvenile Materials Collection
Manager at the Los Angeles Public Library and
the author of five other books for children. In an
interview with Patron, we asked her about the
controversy over The Higher Power of Lucky
and librariansʼ role in defending the First
Amendment. ABFFE and NCAC also
disseminated information about book
censorship and worked with publishers and
others to build awareness and draw attention to
the issue.”

40. How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
By Julia Alvarez
“Banned in Smithfield, North Carolina,
December 2007 How the García Girls Lost Their
Accents was removed from Johnston County
Schools in December 2007 following challenges
by a few parents who objected to sexual themes
in the book. Although their daughter was offered
an alternative assignment, the parents
continued to press for the bookʼs removal. A
review committee recommended that the book
be kept in school classrooms and libraries, but a
district committee decided to ban it. In addition,
the district began using lists of challenged
books to “weed out” potentially offensive
materials. ABFFE, NCAC, and PEN American
Center sent a letter to the school board
condemning both decisions. We also conducted
an exclusive interview with Julia Alvarez which
is featured on NCACʼs website in ʻVoices
Against Book Censorship.ʼ”
