Students speak out about book challenge in WV.

I thought I'd posted about this Pat Conroy challenge previously, but apparently not.  It's been going on for a while.

Now the students are talking:

"We feel our rights are being encroached upon because we want to read these books," said Justin Fletcher, a Nitro High School* senior.

As their teacher said, "It should send a message really that we have students protesting to read a 700 or 800 page book when parents complain they can't get their kids to do anything."

*Which has a totally headache-inducing website.
