LGBT Book Titles Erased from DC's Summer Reading List


Apparently, the District of Columbia's Public Schools might be erasing all LGBT books from the summer reading list! Here's what the School Library Journal had to say
Officials are taking a second look at the list after a post appeared on the American Library Association’s GLBT listserve that said, “The DC (District of Columbia) Public Schools decided to scrub their summer reading list of all GLTB related books. This seems outrageous. We're thinking that if a parent writes a strong letter, it'll be the most effective. I'm thinking it should go to the mainstream press, and perhaps someone in the school system too.”
