Excellent comment from a parent on the Take Back Perry Schools website...

This is not about the book. This is about a dysfunctional school board and censorship. The school board clearly showed it did not have the students’ best interests in mind when it took months to approve a text for reading. The school board then took punitive action because they felt that their authority was threatened. They reacted like a bunch of ten-year-olds. The school board also demonstrated that they do not have the interests of the students in mind when they ban a book that has been highly praised and awarded. The school board should admit they have made a mistake, reinstate Ms. Heermann and agree to refrain from future censorship. If unwilling to do that, they should collectively resign.
