A federal judge in St. Louis has declined to temporarily halt the Wentzville School District's book review policy.During the 2021-22 school year, the district temporarily removed eight books from the shelves of its school libraries because of challenges from parents. Librarians removed three of the books, including "Fun Home" by Alison Bechdel, from shelves permanently after determining they were not age-appropriate. Two – "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison and "Gabi, a Girl in Pieces" by Isabel Quintero – were eventually returned to libraries.
