A good blogger knows to rely on her fellows when it comes to certain types of news. Rarely will I comment on recent book bans when bookshelves of doom does so with such veritable aplomb. However, the recent challenge made to remove Huck Finn from a school curriculum has been met with a response from the students themselves so interesting that I just had to link to it. Voila, the Save Huck Finn blog, created by the rather well-spoken students of St. Louis Park Senior High. I like where this is going. Ban a book, face an angry mob of kids. That would certainly make me think twice before trying to control what they read.
Thanks to bookshelves of doom for the link.
Wow! Those are some pretty inspiring students.
