Watch and see what you think….it sounds like to me the school board is using the “insubordination” factor to draw attention away from the issue of censoring a book that they have seemingly have judged solely on its language rather than the merits and message of the text….
Incidentally, we have this book in my library…we had several requests from kids to buy it after they saw the movie.
I am a writing and Language Arts teacher who loves learning, literacy, stories, learning, dogs, poetry, fabulous shoes, and good lip gloss. I began my career as a high school English teacher in 1992 and then became a high school librarian and 2011 Library Journal Mover and Shaker before returning to the classroom in August 2016.
