Appeals court refuses to ban Huck Finn from reading list
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a black mother's bid to remove Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily from a Tempe High School required list. The court said courts cannot ban books from curricula solely to curb harassment and allowed the suit to proceed on other claims.
