As I posted here a few weeks ago, my gay teen novel,
GEOGRAPHY CLUB, was recently banned from a school district in Washington State. Wednesday night, the school board met, I and some others spoke, and the board agreed to
reverse the decision.
Mostly.
The book is being returned to the high school library, but not the junior high.
Ordinarily, I would say, "Fine. Cut the difference." But in this particular district, "junior high" is 8th and 9th grades. And, frankly, I think it's a real stretch to say my book is not "appropriate" for them.
Still, the ban was reversed, and that is very good news.
