I don't believe this month's topic discussion has started yet so I wanted to share this news with you. In case you haven't heard, emily m. danforth's novel *The Miseducation of Cameron Post*, which was a Morris finalist, has been removed from a summer reading list in Delaware due to parental concerns about its language. Everybody involved denies that it's about the book's lesbian story line.

I wrote about it on Diversity in YA here: http://www.diversityinya.com/2014/07/the-miseducation-of-cameron-post-removed-from-delaware-summer-reading-list/

One of the sad things about this situation is that the summer reading list is made up of books from the Blue Hen List, a very thoughtful and diverse book award administered by the Delaware Library association.
