Today we’re highlighting three more banned or challenged books.
Speak was challenged in MO school (but ultimately retained) due to complaints about drinking, cursing, and sex.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower was challenged but ultimately retained in a NY school due to its graphic sexual content.
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian makes another appearance on the banned and challenged book lists. It has been challenged in schools around the country due to sexual themes, racial content, irreverence, and strong language.
