Challenged Book to Remain on Shelves in Fond du Lac Schools

Link to February 19 Oshkosh Northwestern article, "Parent loses fight to get books banned at Fond du Lac middle school".

Excerpt: Fond du Lac Public Library Director Ken Hall, who serves on the reconsideration committee, said to prejudge a book and remove it from a library takes away the rights of others.

"I found it to be a sweet book, something I felt a reluctant reader would read," he said. "I could never vote to say we must protect all families from this."

About 36 people attended the reconsideration meeting held at Fond du Lac High School. Of the 36, 10 people signed up to speak.

Ann Wentworth plans to proceed with her 6 other challenges.
