A local police chief, in favor of removing the books, announced that he was running for a seat on the board. The school board voted to retain the titles. After committee evaluations, she replied to patents’ complaints: the two Strasser books would remain in the classroom collections and Asher’s book would be relocated to the school library. Parents of the Westwood (NJ) Regional Schools argued that Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, and Can’t Get There From Here and Boot Camp by Todd Strasser, had the potential to do “irrevocable harm and should be pulled from the school.”” Following an author visit from Strasser, all three books were added to the Westwood Regional Middle School language arts classroom library by the principal. The list of more than 30 titles included The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Dear Martin by Nic Stone, The Color Purple by Alice Walker, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Beloved by Toni Morrison, The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander, Pink Is for Boys by Robb Pearlman, and Harbor Me by Jacqueline Woodson.
