Book Banning at PHS

At my former high school, Portage High School, the administration has banned the novel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower from the curriculum of a ninth-grade class. Also, in an article explaining the decision, the student newspaper, The Pow Wow, has been placed under prior review, forcing them to send every newspaper to the administration for their observation before going to print. I am most angry at this decision and have written a letter to the superintendent responsible for the decision. This is an infringement on the rights of the students and faculty, and a blatant infringement of the Constitution of the United States of America. My hope is that this ban will be repealed.
