I didn't blog about the Webster Schools and their decision to remove Rainbow Boys from their summer reading list because it looked like it was being covered by the blogosphere, and I didn't think I had nothing new to add (except sighs of not again). In case you don't know what I'm talking about, go over to AS IF (Authors Support Intellectual Freedom) , which has been covering it.
I'm blogging now because I try to be even-handed; not just complain, but also say Yay!, so I want to point out a editorial in the school's local paper that is nice, balanced, and supports the book being on the reading list: Webster schools cave to censors' pressure.
