approved the continued use of the book with the
following guidelines: “The teacher must appropriately
prepare students for parts of the book that may be
considered provocative; limit the book to juniors and
seniors; should a parent object to the book, board
policy is currently in place that allows a student to
be excused from the book assignment, and provides
for an alternative assignment without penalty to the
student.” Source: Mar. 2010, pp. 55–56.
