Censorship
editIn November 2021, the school district removed 29 books from circulation from the district's school libraries, including The Handmaid’s Tale and The Hate U Give, after one parent objected to language he found offensive.[5] Soon the books were available again, because of the district policy "Challenged materials shall not be removed from use during the review period".[6]
