Banned Books 2008 – Until They Bring the Streetcars Back

Marshall University does not ban books! The information is provided to let people know what has been banned/challenged elsewhere.

2008

Challenged in the Fargo (ND) School district classrooms because the book includes passages on such topics as sexual bondage, incest, murder, and infanticide. According to district policy, the complainant does not have standing to request either formal or informal reviews because she doesn’t have a child in classes using the book. The complainant also contacted the ND Department of Public Instruction and several state legislators.
