Is the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Being Banned in School Libraries?
March 20, 2009The fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga has gone missing from the shelves of a a junior-high school near the Mormon stronghold of Salt Lake City, UT after complaints from parents uncomfortable with its content–
Stephenie Meyer’s popular Twilight series chronicling the romance of a vampire and teenage girl is notoriously all build-up, no bite.
But a parent’s complaint over sexual content in the Mormon author’s fourth novel, Breaking Dawn, coincided with the book’s temporary absence from the library at Brockbank Junior High.
Officials at the Magna school purchased copies of the book some time ago, but as of Wednesday hadn’t placed them on library shelves. Principal Terri Van Winkle would not say whether the delay stemmed from a parent’s complaint about a honeymoon scene in which sex is implied between the central characters Bella and Edward. But Granite School District officials confirm a complaint was voiced.
Officials at Jordan, Davis and Salt Lake districts say they aren’t aware of any school bans of the Twilight books.
“I know some of the elementary school librarians keep it behind the counter. That way, they can ensure that the parent approves of the child checking it out,” said Bonnie Flint at the Davis district.
Previously, we mentioned a Los Angeles Time article with concerns over whether Breaking Dawn is too sexy for youngsters.
