Some Lorain County JVS Parents Want Book Removed from Curriculum

Some parents deem it "dangerous" and "controversial"

A book, Looking for Alaska, which is required reading for freshmen at Lorain County Joint Vocational School, has some parents furious, calling the book inappropriate and even pornographic.

Some parents were under the impression that the board was going to decide on whether to remove the controversial book from the curriculum at Thursday's school board meeting, but the superintendent said they won't even discuss it again until sometime in January.

Diane Kerecz said she doesn't want the school to ban the book. She just wants the district to remove it from the curriculum for 9^th graders.
