UPDATE -- students in Georgia who've participated in the Reading Bowl have launched a petition to get answers as to why these 8 books were banned. Please amplify their petition and message, as well as the story here.

Petition: www.change.org/p/ensure-tra...

Under the image it says "We want open minds, not closed books," and asks people to sign their petition: https://www.change.org/p/ensure-transparency-and-change-in-georgia-high-school-hrrb-book-banning-process?recruited_by_id=1a6e97a0-a854-11f0-aa25-fd089d14a993&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink
