Defending Challenged Texts

Do you find yourself wanting (needing) help to defend a particular text (e.g., Catcher in the Rye) from efforts to have it banned from your school’s curriculum or library? There are capable IATE members ready and willing to:

  • Send letters of support for keeping that text available in your school
  • Provide arguments and rationale for keeping that text available in your school
  • Supply you with helpful materials relevant to your need
  • Attend school board meetings with you in order to keep that text available in your school

For assistance in defending challenged texts, please contact our Intellectual Freedom Chair:
