Banned possibly because of a single antiMormon sentance.

"Slaughterhouse Five" ban is reversed – sort of – at a Missouri school
"Slaughterhouse Five" and another banned book are now back in the Republic High School library – but must stay in a restricted area.

@tsarstepan,
Sound like some kids could make some money by offering paperbacks of books so "bad" that the school board does not wish you to read them for sale.

This author is rationally and reasonably defending his recently banned book. The author and his supporters did manage to get the school to eventually lift the ban so the high school in question could have its students read the book.
