The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time to stay in PA school.

Curious-incidentFrom the Scranton Times-Tribune:

At a school board meeting in October, Gary Butler spoke on behalf of a sophomore at Riverside Junior Senior High School, challenging the inclusion of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon on summer reading lists. He requested the book be removed because of instances of profanity within the text.

"We're going to keep the book," Superintendent Paul Brennan said in a meeting with English teachers and principals Friday afternoon. "We had safeguards in place where the child did not have to pick that book."
