But how will the appeal go? Bet a lot of ears get bent to make sure that dirty book can go back on the shelves.

Review committees for the district are made up of an odd number of people and each committee includes a facilitator selected by the district's teaching and learning director, at least one administrator working in a district department or school, a licensed teacher who is teaching English language arts or another relevant subject in a district school, a librarian who works in a district school and a minimum of four parents with students enrolled in a district school, according to district policy.
