Katherine Paterson on Censorship

I've spent a bunch of time recently talking, thinking, reading, and writing about It's a Book by Lane Smith over on the main site, Help Readers Love Reading.  Should the book be read in classrooms?  Should teachers edit the book when reading?  What could happen if a teacher uses a book and a parent or principal or concerned citizen disagrees with the teacher's decision?

I had additional thoughts, but I can't say it nearly as well as Katherine Paterson did in Places I Never Meant To Be: Original Stories by Censored Authors edited by Judy Blume.
