Edmond Board of Education Decides to Retain

In a recent meeting, the Edmond Board of Education cast a unanimous vote to retain the memoir "The Glass Castle" in the high school library collections. This decision comes after a thorough review process that considered feedback from parents, educators, and students regarding the book's content and its educational value.

"The Glass Castle," authored by Jeannette Walls, has been a subject of debate due to its candid portrayal of the author's unconventional childhood and the complex relationships within her family.

The board's decision reflects a commitment to fostering an inclusive educational environment where diverse perspectives and experiences are represented in the literature available to students. The vote has been met with approval from many in the community, who believe that maintaining access to such thought-provoking material is essential for student growth and understanding.
