Book Challenge

[Howie Stey <hstrey@STPETERSCHOOLS.ORG>]

We are having the book "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer challenged because of the 
f-word appearing in the text.

Has anyone had any experience with this and, if so, what is the best way to 
proceed.  We have a district wide procedure in place that has been followed and are 
at the stage where the parent is saying all books with f-words in them are 
pandering to the illiterate and uneducated reader.

I'd be interested in any and all contributions.

Thanks,
Howard Strey
