There is the movie, starring Sarah Miles and Kris Kristofferson. It was made in the 1970s.

Does anyone here know that the author of this book was a homosexual? There are those who think books should be banned solely on that basis. That would include the works of Hans Christian Andersen, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, and Patricia Highmith.

i agree that the administration did not put up a fight. But i do agree that you have to pick your battles. If they agrue about this, parents are just going to find another thing to bitch about. And also the parts of the book that were in "question".. i can see why the parents complained. Even though i don't agree with how it was handled, its not the students fight.

I haven't read the "Sailor who Fell with Grace from the Sea," and I also found out that there isn't a National Assocation for the Zero Ignorance Society...I'm suprised they let me drive a car...

What does it matter if it directly affects students? If parents decided that having a teachers lounge was a waste of space it would still be funny and ridiculous without directly affecting students and something we would mention on Corning Underground.

Well thats kind of the joke, but actually i have read the "bad parts" that are in question and it seems pretty silly to be banning the book. In terms of affecting East High Students it may not affect everyone directly but the point behind all this is that the book was banned without even a fight. Administrators were too afraid to argue over banning "The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea" for fear of other books being banned.

As funny as this is, I fail to see where this effects East High students. And as you said yourself you haven't even read it, making yourself seem even more ignorant.
