As of 1:30 PDT the results are at 91% (1151 votes!) NO. I wonder if
they'll make use of this 'survey' for any further purposes - like why So
many are opposed.

When I voted, the survey read that 88% (709) had voted NOT to remove
it
from the lists....so keep voting.
(Also, just a note...there is no restriction on the number of times
you
can vote apparently, because I wanted to check the responses again and
had to vote in order to see what had been done prior to my last vote
and
I was allowed to vote again...I did.)

Subject: [LM_NET] Please help today-The Giver survey!!
Importance: High
Fellow LM-Netters:
Your help is needed today!!! Newbery Medal award book, The Giver by
Lois Lowry is currently being challenged in the Kansas City, Missouri
area (Blue Springs, MO). A local TV news station is making a really
big
deal of the whole issue. They are even currently running a survey on
their website asking the public whether or not this book should be
banned from the reading list! It is my understanding that currently
80%
of the respondents are in favor of banning the book from the reading
lists. Please help us put this issue to rest now! Check out the
story
and please participate in the survey at the website below:
http://www.thekansascitychannel.com/kmbctv/4056827/detail.html
The survey is embedded in the news story.
We'll keep you posted as to how all of this unfolds. Thanks for your
much needed help!
