Potioncat:
I'm glad you posted. We are a curious, questioning bunch. If we will 
discuss at great length the meaning of DD's gleam  then we'll really 
chew on something of more importance.

supporting either side)

Having read the article, I don't know how Pallin stands on banning 
books. I can picture these questions being asked in this way to test 
the librarian's resolve. So this article doesn't tell me enough to 
decide. It does tell me that some sources have combined stories into 
an inaccurate one. 

As to the list itself. "My Brother Sam is Dead" was required reading 
in my son's 6th grade. It is a miserable, demoralizing book. Took all 
the glory out of war, and brought our deified Revolutionary ancestors 
back to human earth. I recommend it. (But I was glad my younger one 
didn't read it in 6th grade, because I didn't want to go through it 
again.)
