Do-It-Yourself Book Banning in Miami Schools
Local uber-blog Stuck on the Palmetto reported it first: Book Banning: Business As Usual In Miami-Dade County (UPDATED).
It seems some parents are tired of waiting for the school board to hear their complaints, so they are seizing copies of a book that is insufficiently anti-Cuban for their tastes from right off the school shelves. Not state action here — pure vigilantism.
And the Herald got there eventually.

Oh what's a little civil disobedience? But seriously, it appears since the previous incident that no one has cared to debate the accuracy of the texts. Or maybe that part wasn't covered in the "news" reports.
