History

In April 2020 the school district board deemed five books, Catch-22, The Great Gatsby, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Invisible Man, and The Things They Carried, to be inappropriate for use in the classroom.[8] Among the reasons cited were "anti-white" sentiments. A local attorney responded with a "book challenge," asking students to read all five works.[9] In May of that year the school board restored the books to the curriculum.[10]
