Call to Action: Stop the banning of  “This Book Is Gay” By Juno Dawson

The book was in the library of Pierce Middle School. It was challenged by a woman last year. It went through the review process, and the challenge did not hold.  The book was allowed to stay on the shelf.  The challenger has the right to appeal, and she did, which brings the issue before the School Board.   

Public comment will be limited to opposition or support of “This Book Is Gay.”   In case you did not have the time to read the book, below are links to the comments made by both review committees. 

Can’t attend in person, email the Board Here
