Fond du Lac School District Book Complaints: "Enough is enough"


Link to July 14 Fond du Lac Reporter article, "Book complaints have reached dead end. Parent's objections won't be added to board agenda".

Excerpt:   A Fond du Lac parent waging a battle against certain books in schools was essentially told Monday night that enough is enough.

When Ann Wentworth asked that she be allowed to speak at a future board meeting, School Board President Eric Everson denied her request.

"Some of the requests being asked for are for an unattainable solution to problems that you perceive." Everson said.

Wentworth's crusade against three out of six books she originally filed complaints against has drawn national attention — and the ire of best-selling authors.

Link to Julie Halpern's Blog of Wonder post from July 11th, "Give it up, Wentworth". 

Ann Wentworth is a member of Patriotic Resistance.
