(NASHVILLE, TN)—Today, the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee, along with attorney Kerry Knox, filed a lawsuit on behalf of three Rutherford County families and PEN America against the Rutherford County Board of Education, in response to the banning and restriction of more than 145 books from school libraries in the county. The three families, who are anonymous, include two rising freshmen and a rising senior who will attend Rutherford County schools next year. PEN America, a national writers and free expression organization, joined the lawsuit on behalf of its author members, 32 of whom have had a total of 53 books banned or restricted by the Rutherford County school board.
ALMOST PERFECT is on the list of the many, many books this school has banned, along with a lot of much better books. See the list here.
