Book challenges in PA and CA.

In PA, it's Tom Wolfe and Curtis Sittenfeld:

Slifka spoke out against both books at the Sept. 24 board meeting. The Policy 109 challenges she filed set in motion a formal committee review process that will end with a recommendation on each book to the East Penn School Board.

But what was never mentioned at that meeting was a challenge that was brought against “Acid Test” in 2007, according to East Penn Superintendent of Schools Thomas L. Seidenberger. “Prep” was challenged in 2011. Both challenges were made under Policy 109.

And in CA, it's Stephen King:

“Different Seasons” is a novel containing a collection of four Stephen King stories, which includes well-known stories “Shawshank Redemption” and “Stand By Me.” But the graphic scene covering a page and a half in “Apt Pupil” could get the whole book banned from Rocklin school libraries.

“Basically they’re judging entire book on one story,” said Amanda Wong.
