District 214 Anti-Book Ban

Anyone interested in attending the school board meeting to support our cause, the meeting has been changed to 7:00 pm at Forrest View in room D100-101

To:  Illinois District 214 School Board

I do not believe that the following novels should be banned from District 214 reading lists.





The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brian


Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut


The Awakening, by Kate Chopin


Beloved, by Tony Morrison


The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky


Freakonomics, by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner


The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World, by Michael Pollan





These books are extremely helpful in teaching ‘the other side of the story’. The have many different viewpoints than most regular, more widely accepted books. These books are needed in our schools to prepare high school students for real life, where there is homosexuality, drugs, violence and radical beliefs. Students should be able to be exposed to these topics so they are more prepared for life after high school.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
