A final decision has been made on the Cameron Post challenge.
The school board voted 6-1 to put the book back on the list...
...AND THEN VOTED TO REMOVE THE WHOLE SUMMER READING LIST FROM THE DISTRICT.
I can't even.
I am so horrified that I might actually, for real, vomit. And I very much hope that this story isn't over.
In the meantime, I suggest that YOU, the ninth-graders of Cape Henlopen, go ahead and use the Blue Hen list anyway: GO FORTH AND READ THEM ALL, MY PRETTIES. GO FORTH AND READ THEM ALL. READ. READ LIKE THE WIND.
ETA: Another article.
