Directive 19 RE: [Publib] "And Tango Makes Three" tops ALA's 2006list ofmostchallenged books

[JeriLyn H Andrews]

I also found that site. The comments I have gotten from the director are:
 "we have no way to know how accurately the book has been researched and 
written"
"It is a "self published book that has no reviews in any standard sources 
and is held by no libraries in WorldCat"

My gut feeling is that there is something else going on that no one wants to 
talk about.
