- Summary:
-
While in office, the 1976 chairman of the Committee against Censorship of the National Council of Teachers of English received reports of complaints about classroom and library materials; debated with textbook protestors; and participated in over 100 radio shows, at least half of which were call-in shows involving exchange of views with schoolbook protesters. This book focuses on the 40 questions most frequently asked in his discussions with teachers, librarians, administrators, school board members, students, and parents. The following are among the topics discussed: (1) rights of parents and students; (2) arguments used by book protesters and their opponents; (3) legal background; (4) background of the schoolbook protesters; and (5) guides for school systems in the materials selection process and in how to respond to schoolbook protesters. Footnotes at the end of the book pertain to 31 of the 40 questions. (MLF)
