If you were one of those who thought book banning was in the past, here's an article to read. While the banning was eventually rescinded, it is humorous that this would happen during Banned Books Week.
The article began:
A series of fantasy novels about a vampire and his teenage girlfriend were banned Friday from middle school libraries in the Capistrano Unified School District over concerns about age-appropriate content, but reinstated four days later without explanation.
The books are still under review. Here's more:
"There's a process that we go through to determine the appropriateness of placement of library books, and we will go through that process to determine the best placement for these books," Hatchel said.
Here's your magical trick question of the day: How many teacher librarians work for Capistrano Unified?
That would be none.

I knew someone had to have tried to ban the Twilight books.
They're just too popular to remain untouched.
