Banned Book Week

Totally Joe

2008

Removed from the Jefferson Elementary School in Bedford County (VA) because of "inappropriate content." Administrators pulled the book from the shelf after a parental complaint. While the school system's general policy on content challenges calls for a formal committee's review of the book, that policy was not followed. Rather officials decided the book was not appropriate for elementary-school students, but did not decide whether to allow the book in middle or high schools.

Held at Cabell County Public Library
