I need some professional advice.  5th grade teachers in our District have
used Sign of the Beaver for years. The title is in question now because of
the way the Native Americans are depicted.  Title IV representatives are
asking us not to use it in classroom situations, and question it's value on
library shelves. Please share your thoughts.  Is there an Internet site
that lists book titles that should not be in our collections due to
improper/incorrect ethnic interpretation?  Thanks
