Orono panel reinstates controversial class book

Here’s A Follow Up on the challenge to “Girl, Interrupted” in Maine. The book has been re-entered into the curriculum after a recommendation from the school’s appointed review committee.

Superintendent Kelly Clenchy examined excerpts from the book the parent provided and decided the issue required further consideration following the school’s policy to review controversial material.

“The reviews that they’ve looked at largely support the book for high school students,” Clenchy said Wednesday.
