GEN : looking for "banned books" story

[Joanne Proctor <jmproctor@CJNETWORKS.COM>]

Hi,
  I am posting this to our state e-list as well as LMNET so I apologize to
those who are getting this twice.
   Back in the mid-80s,  Barb Herrin at Emporia State,  who was teaching the
school library media class, read a "story" about a student teacher (at least
that's how I remember it) who was trying to select a book to read to the
class and for every title she suggested (either to the supervising teacher
or librarian, I can't remember) she was told she couldn't use it and the
reason why.  Most were children's classics, award winners (e.g., Sylvester
and the Magic Pebble because of the police being depicted as "pigs."  Later
I thought about asking her for a copy but never got around to it.  Anybody
happen to have that story?
Thanks,
Joanne Proctor
