New Rochelle Censors Book; "Girl, Interrupted" starred Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie

In response to our Exclusive Report on Monday, the New Rochelle Board of Education announced today that it would immediately replace all 50 copies of Susanna Kaysen's memoir Girl, Interrupted which were distributed to students at New Rochelle High School two weeks ago and undertake a review of district policy and practices regarding book selection. The book was made into a movie starring Winona Ryder; Angelina Jolie won an Academy Award and Golden Globe for her role.

I don`t understand the United States... Every IDIOT has a weapon!!! Nobody cares... But they don`t like their children to read about sex.  That´s so crazy!!!

The kids will probably just go and read the torn out pages. It's a beautiful book ;W;

@Calucifer13 Thank you!! But there are still people like you, that´s good!!

@SuperConny77 I do not understand why was your comment marked as a spam by some assholes. You were SO RIGHT about American hypocrisy! They think how free they are, and after all of this, it comes out they are not free at all. They are just cutting down the branch they are sitting on by such behavior.

Hell, why not go the whole hog, get out the swastika armbands and put the books in a pile and burn them.... oh, i guess that would be Un-American. Books are an art-form, Literature is Art, enjoy it, learn from it, disagree with it, discuss which emotions it brings out in you... BUT NEVER deface it.

Ah, Now I remember, there's like ONE paragraph, maybe a page at the most, when the group of girls are discussing boyfriends and who (out of the orderlys) they'd have sex with...there's nothing explicit, racy, or dirty about it though haha

...just teenage girls talking about teenage girl interests...lol

[SaftAusKeine]

Racy Book?...there's nothing racy about it...lol

as for the "blowjob" sections, she couldn't have went into much detail about it as I've read the book two or three times and I can't even remember that part...

Some teachers can be so fucking stupid sometimes.

[cocoljani]

this is sooo stupid. this is a memoir, a piece of literature, so therefore a piece of art. and sexuality can be also art. how can you be so frigid?!
