Another Book Challenge.
This Illinois school board member wants to pull a seven books from the curriculum in her local school district. Some of the offensive books may sound familiar:
The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brien
Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut
The Awakening, Kate Chopin
The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky
Beloved, Toni Morrison
Freakonomics, Steven Leavitt
The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World, Michael Pollan
Impressively, she hasn't read any of the books. In fact, she's quoted as saying "I don't know if I would want to."
