Hi Fred, I want to recirculate this but the link does not work. Not sure which ‘banned’ story you wanted to link in.
Found item below along the way, but I am not sure if the seventh grade reference is valid, or if the Lane Tech student protest cleared the path all the way. I thought I might ask others to clarify or even write to Seattle PI -Arlene
Seattle PI: Banned Books Week Warm Up: School Board in Oregon fighting over “Persepolis” http://blog.seattlepi.com/bookpatrol/2014/09/19/banned-books-week-warm-up-school-board-in-oregon-fighting-over-persepolis/ {“Oh, and by the way, Persepolis is on the suggested reading list from the Oregon Department of Education. The book; however, is currently banned in two places – Chicago public school schools (for seventh graders) and in Iran!”}
