'To Kill a Mocking Bird' BANNED, in my back yard...literally.



I've just come back from a vacation/ hurricane evacuation (more on that later) but I wanted to get your thoughts on this:

Biloxi Mississippi, the place my husband works, one town over from where I live just removed To Kill a Mocking Bird from the school reading list because...

“There were complaints about it. There is some language in the book that makes people uncomfortable, and we can teach the same lesson with other books..."

I'd really, really love to get your thoughts on this. If you could leave me your comments here, that'd be swell. Please, and thank you!
