James Welch's Fools Crow challenged in MT.

From the Helena Independent Record:

Christy Dighans says her son, a sophomore at Helena High School, brought "Fools Crow" by James Welch to her saying he didn't like reading it.

At first, Dighans said she told her son to do as he was told by his teacher and read the book. A couple of days later, he came to her again saying he didn't like the images the book was leaving in his head.

...

There are passages throughout the book with disturbing descriptions of rape, mutilation and murder. Supporters of the book say its literary value - specifically its insights into American Indian society and Montana history - outweighs the controversial passages.

The book meets the state standard for teaching Montana literature, and has been through the district's review process as accepted material at the sophomore level in the English department.

...

"They say it's censorship, but the school censors stuff all the time when they make a decision to approve or not to approve a list of materials," Dighans said.

I find it irritating when people equate collection/curriculum development with censorship.  That is all.
