The #SpoutibleBannedBookClub discussion of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot starts now.

First #ImmortalLifeTalkingPoint

Did you see anything in the book to justify the challenges/bans? Explain.

One Mom found reaching into one's own vagina to find a tumor pornographic...Her 15-year-old son got a different reading assignment...they didn't actually "ban it"...This is parental choice...her son missed out on a good story. #ImmortalLife Q1

Yes, there's challenged, banned (removed from library), removal from reading lists, requests for substitutions, etc. For simplicity's sake, most of the media uses the term "banned," but there's a difference between all of them. To widen the choices, I've included books from all the categories.

It was a good book, thanks for including it.
I was actually glad that Knoxville County didn't take the single parent objection to the whole school level.
