The ACLU and the Northern Justice Project asked U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason Monday afternoon to issue a preliminary injunction ordering the books be returned to school library shelves.
Focus is whether district can remove books before review process is completePublished: Apr.
Savannah Fletcher, the attorney for the Northern Justice Project, argued that students have been harmed and continue to be harmed by district policy. The district removed all 56 challenged books while the Library Citizens Advisory Committee began discussing and voting on whether to recommend those books be permanently removed or returned to the library. It is ultimately up to the school board on whether to accept or reject the committee’s recommendations.
School district attorney John Ptacin told the judge that the other 12 were recently returned to school libraries.Some of the titles flagged are “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky; “The Lovely Bones” by Alice Sebold; and “Sold” by Patricia McCormick. One book, “It Ends With Us” by Colleen Hoover, was determined to be obscene and removed permanently and “Slaughterhouse Five” by Kurt Vonnegut was among the books returned to the library.
Ptacin told the court that it’s up to the school board to decide how to handle the review process and that just because the books are not on school shelves, does not mean students are not allowed to get copies from other sources and read the challenged books.
