Blue Valley Textbooks
Each book has been selected by the teachers, approved by the district, and supported by the Blue Valley Board of Education for use as a required reading assignment in a Blue Valley Communication Arts class.
Can you sincerely say that these books are absent of "gratuitous sex, profanity, and violence" per Blue Valley's selection policy 4600? The teachers, district office administrators, and Board of Education did! Click the book title for more excerpts, and a full review of the book.
