Another school year, another controversy over To Kill a Mockingbird.

The public school district in Biloxi, Mississippi, scrubbed the 1960 novel from its 8th grade curriculum last week, saying there had been complaints about the books language. The move continues a tradition dating back decades of American schools censoring Harper Lees Pulitzer-winning classic.

There is some language in the book that makes people uncomfortable , and we can teach the same lesson with other books, Kenny Holloway, vice president of the Biloxi School Board, told the Biloxi Sun Herald of the Mockingbird decision. Its still in our library. But theyre going to use another book in the 8th grade course.
