| Summary |
"In 2002, the Cedarville School Board in Crawford County, Arkansas, removed Harry Potter books from library shelves. These were unanimously approved by a committee. Dakota Counts and her father Bill Counts sued the school district in Federal court. This book details the origins of the ban and the civil procedures and legal arguments that restored the First Amendment"-- Provided by publisher |
