"The Giver" Stays on Reading Lists
Lois Lowry's The Giver will stay on eighth grade reading lists in Blue Springs, Missouri (Link might require registration). The school board voted six to nothing to keep the book on the lists. Parents who objected to the book say it's "lewd," "twisted," and "extremely violent." Did you have to read this book in school? What do you think?
