That is great news. Always been one of my favorites. Was shocked to hear that TKAM is being banned by some school districts as well as some Toni Morrison books.

Thanks for posting.

Really? I hadn't heard, but that's indeed awful, IMO. I think TKAM is a great teaching tool on many levels.

TKAM is required reading in our school district's 9th grade English class. I can't imagine why it would be banned, but then I don't believe in banning books ever. Besides, best way to get everyone to read a book is to ban it. {#emotions_dlg.devil2} People like the forbidden fruit! And It's a great story.

The book is very open about Southern ways: it's not flattering.

My 8th grade English teacher read TKAM aloud to the class. It is one of my most vivid memories of junior high. This was back in the 60's.

I just pre-ordered mine for Nook a little bit ago- one of my favorite books. I agree TKAM is a great teaching tool on many levels.
