Parents complained about a Toni Morrison novel and the school pulled it from the AP curriculum. Read and respond.
Also, consider noting the tone in the author's approach to this story. How does he convey it?
By the way, he's a moron. A Lexile is the reading level a particular book is categorized at. For example, I'm guessing the Lexile for say James and the Giant Peach is at a 5th grade level in Lexile. It's usually available through libraries, reading lists, google searches.
