Bermudez Triangle challenged at the Mid-High
A few weeks ago an article was published in the Examiner about a book challenge at the Mid-High. The book in question, The Bermudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson, was challenged by a parent because it contained a kissing scene between two high school girls and the parent did not feel such homosexual themes were appropriate for a book in a high school library. The blogsphere has been on fire with opinion concerning this situation, and the author herself has blogged about it on several occasions. This is a very controversial issue for many people. Parents care about their children's well being and want to do what they feel is best for them. However, in the end, the decision to ban or not to ban this book will effect you, the teenager it was written for and meant to be read by. Stay informed and voice your own opinion no matter what that opinion may be. Before the school makes its official decision, let them hear your voice and have your input about whether you want Maureen Johnson's book in your school library.Links:BPS Board members, Board meeting dates and timesOn the bottom right of this page is a link to an email where you can let the school know your thoughts on the book If you have not read the Bermudez Triangle and would like to, see here for it's current status or to place it on hold.
