The Goddard school district has returned the 29 books they had recently pulled from circulation after one parent challenged the order. Last Thursday, the district removed nearly 30 books from their libraries. This comes after a parent complained about the language and graphics used in a book their child came home with back in September. Goddard then created a list of titles and requested the books to be put under review. The books were pulled from shelves as a result and "made to hold" until further notice.
The complaint originally focused on the novel "The Hate U Give," written by Angie Thomas. The story follows a 16-year-old girl who witnesses the fatal shooting of her best friend by a police officer.
