On the Inlander blog Bloglander, Lisa Waananen reports how two women took action when the Meridian School Board voted 2-1 to remove Sherman Alexie's "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" from school curriculum: "After reading about this, Jennifer Lott of Spokane and her friend Sara Baker — who’s also from Spokane but now lives in Seattle — decided to do something about it. They came up with a plan to buy 350 copies of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian — one for each student who signed the petition.
