White Oak ISD’s Library Challenge Committee will meet at 2 p.m. today in the district’s board room, scheduled to hear a challenge to the 1999 coming-of-age novel “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky.
During their evening meeting in early January, a majority of the committee members voted to remove from White Oak’s collection the “Heartstopper” series (Volumes 1-5) by Alice Oseman. Per minutes published after the Jan. 6 meeting, the 4-1 vote banned the book after “a consensus of the committee found the material to be pervasively vulgar” and “harmful.”
