Dover parent strips bawdy poetry from kids library
In Dover, Delaware, parent Lloyd Schmid prompted the removal of Roald Dahl’s Rhyme Stew from the children's section after his daughter read a verse about debauchery and a gym teacher. The book will relocate to the young adult area, with Schmid urging a local standards based rating system and contacting Viking Penguin Library of Congress and Barbara Bush. Senator Biden joined in supporting classification reform.
