"Huck Finn" "...Mockingbird" permanently reinstated in Va. school - unanimous vote
ACCOMAC, Va. (WAVY) — Accomack County Public Schools announced Tuesday that “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and “To Kill a Mockingbird” will immediately returned to school library shelves.
The books were temporarily suspended on November 29, after a complaint was filed.
Students, parents and community members gathered outside the Accomack County courthouse last week to protest the temporary ban. Many attendees signed a petition launched by a high school student to keep the books in the county’s schools.
