AP Reports Louisiana College trustees have banned two books and ordered all instructors to submit proposed learning materials for review to the Baptist school’s Vice President of Academic Affairs.
The decision upholds the censoring of two books that had been used in philosophy classes at the college for years.
“The Road Less Traveled,” by psychiatrist Scott Peck and “A Lesson Before Dying,” by Ernest Gaines, were removed from the college bookstore’s shelves earlier this semester after a student and a board member complained the books are inappropriate.
The complaints dealt with the use of profane language in Peck’s book and the description of a love scene in Gaines’ novel.
