His mother read through part of the book, noted the language used (of the sort men in that field use according to Mr. King) and took it to the school board. The book was pulled (at least for a bit) but before it was a long list of checkouts took place. Before the school board got involved only one person had checked the book out. The student whose mother started the whole thing.  |
The Streisand Effect (or does that term not apply here?). The effect in action: this little story makes me want to read the King book and may just be the next story I pick up
