Some Christian parents in Georgia want a bevy of books removed from their
local schools' reading list.
Three parents with the group Crusaders for Christ told members of the Bartow
County Board of Education that several books are too offensive for students to
be reading.
The group's leader, the Rev. Dwight Holcomb, told board members, "You're going
to answer to God Almighty for your decision."
Among the books the Crusaders for Christ want banned are "Of Mice and Men" by
John Steinbeck, "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury and "To Kill a
Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
County committees had deemed all of the books appropriate, but committee members
will now consider whether to repeal their decision.
