Item: School board members split on 'Brave New World'/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: A classic science fiction novel could be the first casualty of the Coeur d'Alene School District's efforts to assure all books on required reading lists have been approved by the school board before teachers use them in district classrooms. Trustees could not agree whether to accept a book review committee's recommendation to add Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" to the list of approved reading materials at their meeting Monday. With four out of five board members present, the vote was split 2-2 resulting in a decision to consider the book again at the December board meeting when they anticipate full attendance.

Question: Should 'Brave New World' be added to the list of approved reading materials for the Coeur d'Alene School District?
