The Chino Valley School Board in San Bernardino County, California recently approved a revision to its classroom materials policy that allows parents, teachers, students, and community members to submit complaints to the board for classroom or library books they are concerned contain inappropriate sexual content.

The update, passed with a 3–2 vote by the board’s conservative majority Nov. 16, will require the principal of the school to remove the book and inform the superintendent within three days of receiving a complaint.
