From the Paper:

"For instance he tells us that "The Savannah Morning News" reported in November 1999 that a teacher at the Windsor Forest High School required seniors to obtain permission slips before they could read Hamlet, Macbeth, or King Lear. The teacher's school board had pulled the books from class reading lists, citing "adult language" and references to sex and violence. Ockerbloom tells us that several other classics have been banned from U.S. Schools. These include an illustrated edition of "Little Red Riding Hood" which was banned in two California school districts in 1989."
