[LM_NET] General: Book challenge results

[Jane Smith <jksmith@TCSS.NET>]

After three months of debate and conflict over the book, the Tuscaloosa
County Board of Education in Tuscaloosa, ALABAMA announced Monday,
December 10, 2007 that Sandpiper  by Ellen Wittlinger would remain on
Brookwood High school library shelves because of U.S. Supreme Court
rulings that found that students' first amendment rights can be directly
affected by the removal of books from a school library.
