I'd blogged a while ago about the banning of Maureen Johnson's The Bermudez Triangle solely for having homosexual (though in no way explicit) content. There's a verdict now. You can read her post here, if you're interested.
In short, the school library will allow the book. However, it must be kept on a reserve shelf and only checked out for school assignments by students who have parental permission.
How asinine. And slippery slope. Dangerous precedent. All of the above.
Oh, and this is on the heels of the librarian on the book banning committee having been removed from her position and the school librarian resigning. What a world we live in.
Footloose, anyone?
