Target: potential challenge

[Pat Bennett <pben@CLOVER.NET>]

Dear fellow LM_netters,

    Here's a request for help in advance...I have a potential challenge
brewing to Julie Anne Peters's _Romanceof the Snob Squad_, a harmless piece
of middle school fluff in my estimation.  The parent objects to the use of
the word "slut" in one sentence ("any girl who would dance with a boy is a
slut") - admits he hasn't read the whole book, etc.  A couple of days after
he complained about this one, he and his wife appeared in the library (we
thought they were just killing time waiting for their P/T conference), and
we saw them pulling book after book off the shelves.  Now he's also upset
about our Tom Clancy books (which are marked 7th and 8th only.)   Anway -
have any of you had a problem with the "Snob Squad" books?  And have you
ever had a parent deliberately cruising your library, sort of on a witch
hunt???
    Thanks in advance.
