I was interested to read your article, “No probable cause found in Williams Field book assignment case.” When I first heard that the Williams Field High School teacher might be arrested for assigning the book "Homegoing" by Yaa Gyasi for her students to read, I wondered what was in the book that so bothered people, so I checked it out of the Bell Library. I thought I would read a few chapters to see why it was possibly being banned. As a Library Science minor, I wondered what would make a book worth banning. However, once I started reading this book, I was hooked. It was a generational history of two Black families and was a really good story; I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. The little bit of sexually explicit material just furthered the story and should not have bothered a normal high school reader. I wondered if the person who complained about it had even bothered to read it.
