Unless the Utah State Board of Ed takes action by July 4th, Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen, will become 18th book permanently banned statewide in Utah. Please contact board members and ask them to overturn the ban and restore local control! letutahread.org/localcontrol

A law that bans classic authors like Judy Blume, Kurt Vonnegut, Toni Morrison, and Margaret Atwood from high schools is bad. Banning students from having these authors in their backpacks on school grounds? EXTREME OVERREACH! Agree? Please sign and share: letutahread.org/usbeban
