I am trying to gather reviews/criticisms on The Plot Against  America by 
Philip Roth from organizations like the National Council  for English Teachers- 
that speak to the merit of the book for high school  students.  I have gathered 
all the reviews/awards/criticisms listed on  Gale's Literature Resource Center 
and EBSCO's NoveLIst which include the ALA's  2005 Notable Book List for 
Adults and School Library Journal List for High  School Students and all the 
reviews from places like The New York Times,  Publishers Weekly, Booklist etc.  I 
am asking if anyone knows of  a school related organization including the NCET 
that reviewed this  book or if there are any places to find additional 
criticisms.  The reason  for asking is that a classroom teacher had an objection by 
non building level  administration to the class reading the book on the grounds 
of sexual  content.  You can reply to the e-mail address below.  Thanks in  
advance for any help.
