Book banning, the flash button issue in headline news across the United States currently, is also the raging topic in my local school district this month. There is shock and disbelief in my suburban New York community that we are the location for a book ban conversation, and that there are parents among us petitioning the school library to reconsider stocking some books. Please note that the debate is not about whether these books should be taught, its about whether these books should be available in a public-school library.
