I would like to make one distinction....we did not ask 2 twelve year olds to read the challenged book. We searched the checkout history of the book and found 2 twelve year olds who had chosen to read the book and asked them for their opinions and comments. The documentation we provided to the Anniston Star didn't explain how we identified the students and they didn't ask.
