Read a banned book!

Our friend Jennifer Yoder is an english teacher at Westfield High School. She's currently fighting a challange of a book she's been teaching in her classroom. The book is The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. Parents are concerned with the language in this book about the Vietnam War. We wish her luck as she defends the book in front of the Westfield School Board Tuesday night.


If you're aware of censorship and book challenges in your community you can contact the American Library Association, Office for Intellectual Freedom. Protect your liberty and your library, read a banned book! Below is a list of the top 10 most often challaenged books in 2004, according to the ALA. How many have you read?
