I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
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. Among the reasons cited were "anti-white" sentiments. A local attorney responded with a "book challenge," asking students to read all five works. In May of that year the school board restored the books to the curriculum.
