CDA Trustees Return 26 Books To Shelves

Item: CDA School Board approves reading list /Alison Boggs, SR

More Info: Reversing a previously split vote, the Coeur d’Alene School Board on Monday unanimously approved the Aldous Huxley classic “Brave New World” as required reading for seniors, along with 25 total other novels for grades 6 through 12. “It’s gratifying. They did the right thing,” said Eric Louis, a Coeur d’Alene High School English teacher who was among more than 100 people at a special board meeting to consider the novels. “We’re a district that understands … honoring academic freedom. It’s a good day for the district.”

Question: Did the school board come to its senses? Or cave in?
