Reason, August, 2000 by Charles Oliver

In Virginia's Spotswood High School, Jeff Newton posted a list of 60 books that have been banned, including such fare as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Color Purple, and Of Mice and Men. After a parent complained, Principal Jim Slye told him to take the list down because it wasn't part of any class curriculum, and some of the books on the list haven't been approved by school officials.
