[LM_NET] Need input on book "Was God on Vacation"

[Jeffrey Riedi <riedija@MILWAUKEE.K12.WI.US>]

Hello, 
 
This morning a Social Studies teacher approached our learning team with
the request to use the book " Was God on Vacation" by Jack Van der
Geest. Some concern was raised by members of the committee because of
two items. First the cover has a swastika on it and, second the word
"God" in the title. Does anyone have any experience with this book as
far as concerns from parents or others in the local community. It is
well written and has received good reviews. I have no issue with the
book but would like feedback for the members of the committee. Thanks in
advance for any help.
