Does your school have a written policy within its collection development
policy for handling challenged materials?  It should, and it should provide a
formal complaint form for the parent to fill out as part of the due process
procedure.  The formation of an ad hoc committee, composed of library media
staff, administrators, teachers from each grade level and parents should meet
to discuss the challenged material and help you come to a decision about
whether the book should remain on the shelves.  The books should remain in
circulation during this time.  This is all based on ALA Bill of Rights. Let
me know what happens.
