Controversial book pulled from North Bend High School class

Here is the petition to get it put back in the curriculum

Really?

I guess it's not surprising though, considering.

My son took this course from this teacher last year. The teacher tried to have this book introduced at least three times and it was rejected by the school board. Nevertheless, he had the kids read excerpts last year (my son said they had the effect of just depressing and creeping the students out). This year he brought the book in anyway, against the order of the school board, and the advice of other teachers at the school.

My son really dislikes the teacher who handles the literature end of the course and hated it. He made an 'A' anyway, and agrees with the school board. He got a copy of the book and thought it to be completely beneath the quality needed for 'Connections'.

Let's not be quite so quick to side with the teacher on this one.
