To my knowledge, no one has ever successfully banned it in my district and I have yet to hear about a fight breaking out in Senior Lit. because someone’s senses were so offended by reading about Jim and Huck floating down the Mississippi.

Someone else who reads To Kill A Mockingbird every year. Me too -- it's my first celebration of summer. The kids get out of school; I pull out my worn-out copy and start reading.
