Fargo moms try to ban Grisham book
FARGO, N.D., Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Two women want the Fargo (N.D.) School District to eliminate John Grisham's novel "A Time to Kill" from an English class at North High School.

Pamela Sund Herschlip and Ruth Walsh don't consider themselves censors or book banners, they merely see themselves as two moms who care about their kids, the Fargo Forum reported,

They say the book is too graphic and the antithesis of quality literature.

Their request to have the book removed was denied at the building and district levels. They will appear Tuesday before the School Board.

For them, the novel and the district's support of it is a symptom of a society gone awry.
