deborahThe Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian has been challenged in Oregon and temporarily removed from Crook County School District classrooms. I might be willing to extend a tiny bit of slack to the parent who thought mention of masturbation as normal was inappropriate in a book assigned to his 14-year-old son (although, really, what does he think his son is doing at night when the door is closed?), if he hadn't followed up with "I don't think it should be for anybody," he said. "I think it's trash. I don't think a 50-year-old ought to read it." I'm not too impressed with the school board chairman, either, who said about the book, "Personally, as a father, I felt it was inappropriate."
