Another one.
I. Can't. Take. It. People just aren't satisfied with challenging one book at a time anymore.
The books this time are:
Are You in the House Alone?, by Richard Peck
Rainbow Boys, by Alex Sanchez
Rats Saw God, by Rob Thomas
Sex Kittens and Horn Dawgs Fall in Love, by Maryrose Wood
The Bean Trees, by Barbara Kingsolver
The Bean Trees, Teacher's Edition
The Clan of the Cave Bear, by Jean Auel
The King Must Die, by Mary Renault
The Power of One (abridged), by Bryce Courtenay
Boy's Life, Robert McCammon
A school board member was approached by "people from a local radio station" who were concerned about the district's book orders. She took it upon herself to research the books online. The sites she used? "Two Web sites devoted to challenging the propriety of books in school libraries". (My guess is that they were ClassKC and PABBIS, because god forbid that she would use objective sources for her research.)
[Later:] Maryrose Wood, author of SK&HDFIL, is covering the challenge at her blog.
