Censura Frikitecari
The AP reports that And Tango Makes Three, the award-winning children's book inspired by the true story of two male penguins raising a baby penguin, topped the American Library Association's Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2006. (The ALA's definition of challenge is a "formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness.") Frequently challenged favorites Of Mice and Men, The
Catcher in the Rye, and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn fell off the 2006 list, but there were 30% more titles last year than in the previous year--much lower than its peak in the mid-1990s.Below are the results of the most recent list with their reasons for being
