firstamendmentcenter.org: news offers the sad article that a Florida elementary school has decided to remove Anastasia Again! by Lois Lowry from the school library shelves. A parent had asked for the entire Anastasia series to be banned, but the school board removed the single book.

Both committees that I have served on talked at length about the Freedom to Read and parental rights, conversations that usually lead to the retention of books.
