Carter Finally Gets It challenged for being "vulgar, vulgar, vulgar".

Well... I can't really argue with the challenger's complaint: after all, Carter Finally Gets It is super-raunchy.

But it's also totally hilarious* and I loved it.

Therefore, I'm happy to report that the book passed muster with a school-wide committee, a district committee, and the board of education, and so it will stay on the shelves of Oklahoma's Childers Middle School library:

"While the (school) committee does not support or promote the use of questionable language or all of the decisions made by the characters in the book, the committee did not find the book to be pervasively vulgar or completely lacking in suitability," Fichtner said.

[ETA: Another article about the challenge.]
