Bit...Thanks for the comments and support you guys!<br /><br />Bitsy--So glad you liked the book; I think it's a great reasource for girls in particular<br /><br />Bonnie--Thanks for the banned books link. I'll try to look at it tonight or tomorrow! You can see the update in my Victorious Wednesday post<br /><br />Aths--I know, I think the girl complained because it turned out boys were looking at it and giggling and making comments. She probably felt vulnerable.<br /><br />Thanks Jill! Such a relief that it's over and resolved so easily!Helen's Book Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404788769349792460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268744587166874784.post-58156038782386053422010-04-21T16:53:46.270-07:002010-04-21T16:53:46.270-07:00The Help is fabulous...I hope you continue to enjo...The Help is fabulous...I hope you continue to enjoy it.<br /><br />And good luck with the book drama!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268744587166874784.post-77298472352690786572010-04-21T08:47:28.624-07:002010-04-21T08:47:28.624-07:00Whoa ...

It had photos of bodies, plus photos of women delivering babies. At 14, I was VERY interested in that stuff, I think all girls are. But I would have assumed nobody would complain, because even the shy girls were interested.<br /><br />I hope the book won't be banned. I also hope someone will talk to that girl to understand her viewpoint, and have a healthy discussion on why it's important that books like that stay on the front stacks (so that everyone can be informed now) than languish in the back stacks, leading to much misinformation among kids and later when they become adults. Do post us on how the discussion with the Assistant Principal turns out.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268744587166874784.post-75083864768775261612010-04-21T06:44:47.816-07:002010-04-21T06:44:47.816-07:00Yes, please let us know how that discussion goes a...Yes, please let us know how that discussion goes about the book complaint. You ought to become a contributor on my Banned Books blog, where we discuss banned *OR* challenged books. I would love to have school librarians give first-hand reports.

So impressed that I now own a copy! There were a lot of things in there I didn't know, which surprised me because I took all of the required classes at the elementary, junior and high school level. You have one person here rooting for you and hoping it all works out.Bitsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300233289755805112noreply@blogger.com
