By the same token, if the community disagrees with the standards the district put in place, they can discuss that list of criteria rather than having a book-banning argument every time a new book comes up.

Yes, parts were handled appropriately, but parts were not. Why did the admin feel the need to have a second committee decide the matter when the original committee found that there was nothing wrong with the books? Why was it never released who was on the second committee?

Let me try and find it. Was mentioned in one article I read (which was not the one originally linked), and I thought that someone else here mentioned it as well.
