[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no problem with a parent deciding it is okay for their elementary child to read this young adult book.  Their decision.

I would have a real problem with that book being made available for any student to read in a[b] grade school [i]classroom[/i] library[/b].  Very inappropriate given the content of the book and the controversial nature of what age the book is written for.

I have a HUGE problem with banning it from school libraries precisely because it should be an individual family decision.  I do not want librarians deciding what should and shouldn't be available to my child.  [/quote]

Not school libraries, elementary school class libraries.  Big difference.

The publisher, Scholastic, lists it as a young adult novel for grades 6-8.  Middle school.  Not elementary school.  Still, having it in the school library is very different than having it on the classroom bookshelf of a 3rd or 4th grade class.

Having it in a middle school classroom library, fine.  Not elementary school.  [/quote]
