"Unbanned book is Unpulled from High School"

In a previous post, the plight of The Freedom Writers Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them was highlighted. Earlier this month, the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus reported that the "Unbanned book is Unpulled from High School."

It was challenged because of alleged profanity and references to drugs and sex acts.
