Somehow I don’t think this is what the ALA had in mind for the use of its lists. . .
From The News & Observer:
After banning a popular coming-of-age tale, Johnston County school officials are scouring library shelves for other potentially offensive books to remove.
The district review was prompted by a parent challenge to “How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents,” which was removed from school libraries and classrooms this fall. The novel by Julia Alvarez has faced challenges in at least four districts nationwide for its sexual content and profane language, though national observers knew of no other district where parents succeeded in having it banned. . .
. . . In the wake of the Johnston challenge, the school board asked administrators to check all of the books in high school libraries and classrooms against lists of commonly challenged books to weed out other offensive material. Several organizations compile these lists, including the American Library Association. The review is likely to last months.
