[LM_NET] TARGET: Bradbury's "Sound of Thunder" challenge

[Barry and Myra Gross <bsquare12@VERIZON.NET>]

We may have a challenge to Ray Bradbury's "The Sound of Thunder," a short story 
that is part of the 7th-grade curriculum.  A parent has objected to the word 
"damn," which appears four times in the story.

I don't know how far this will go.  We have a policy for challenges to curriculum 
materials, but I'm not aware that anyone has ever used it in my 12+ years at this 
school.  If you have had this story challenged for any reason, could you please let 
me know what happened?

Thanks for your help.
