To Kill a Mockingbird is being removed from a junior-high reading list in a Mississippi school district, the AP reports.
The Sun Herald reports that Biloxi administrators pulled the novel from the 8th-grade curriculum this week. School board vice president Kenny Holloway says the district received complaints that some of the book’s language “makes people uncomfortable.”
