What are the key issues in the efforts to censor textbooks and other resource materials used by schools?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: The key issue seems to be whether there should be limits on what students are permitted to read. A variety of topics are listed as targets for the censors, and materials that are interpreted as antifamily, antireligious, or anti-American are subject to possible censorship. Teachers need to be aware of the numerous special interests that seek to censor materials and content.

He also fertilizes them, waters them when the weather is dry, and keeps the
flower beds free of weeds. The following spring, Scott complains to his parents that his allowance of six dollars a week is not sufficient to satisfy his needs. Scott's parents respond that somehow he will have to make up the difference through his own efforts. At first, Scott cannot think of a way to raise additional money.
