Another summer reading complaint.
From the Intelligencer:
By page four, Joellen Greenwood was offended by the profanity in her son’s required summer reading for his North Penn High School English class next year.
The district decided to examine the entire summer reading list after Greenwood complained about “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” at Thursday night’s school board meeting.
I know it's silly, but I am surprised every time someone takes issue with this book. Not because I loved it (which I did), but because when it came out, practically every single Little Old Lady who comes to my library (and there are a lot of them) read it and they all raved about it.
Also, the kid whose mother made the complaint? Yeah. He's an incoming senior. As always, that makes me wonder what will happen when he goes away to college.
