Readington school board pulls ‘Perks’ from middle school library

READINGTON – In an issue that has roiled the school district for much of this year , the Board of Education has voted to remove “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” from the middle school library. The board’s Nov. 10 vote came after an hour of public comment in which only two of more than 20 speakers supported removing the book. After each speaker opposing the removal spoke, the audience packed into the Holland Brook School cafeteria broke into loud and sustained applause. The two speakers who favored removing the book were met with silence. The vote was 4-3, with one abstention from Paulo Lopes, who originally objected to the young adult novel and brought his complaint to the board, triggering the review process. Lopes, who lost his bid for reelection Nov. 3, alleged that a scene in the novel describing sexual assault “fails to show accountability or victim support, potentially misleading readers.” Anna Barton, Pamela Cassidy and Elizabeth Fiore voted against removing the book. David Rizza, Justina Ryan, Linda Rad and Ellen DePinto voted in favor of removal. Richard Pieros was absent. Why the Readington school board removed ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ Board members favoring removal said

We're only ranking the top three teams this time due to the other eligible teams not having enough wins. The big-school rankings (for 4A, 5A and 6A) will be back next week. Here we go: 1. Archbishop Wood (8-3) The Vikings , who are now in Class 3A, continue their impressive roll through the season.

In the regular-season finale, the Vikings notched a 19-15 win over the Patriots and followed that up by blitzing Carroll 31-6 in last Saturday's PCL Class 3A championship game. In that win, senior running back D'Andre Webb dominated by rushing for 264 yards and three touchdowns. Up next for the Vikings is the PIAA District 12 Class 3A title game against 7-2 John Bartram of the Philadelphia Public League at the South Philly Supersite on Saturday (noon). 2.
