Cole, Joanna. Asking about Sex and Growing Up. Morrow. Challenged, but retained, in Anchorage, Alaska School District elementary school libraries (1994) after the school board voted to "retain the book despite complaints that it is inappropriate for elementary school children and teaches values opposed to those of the majority of parents."
Girls and Sex. Delacorte. Challenged at the Santa Fe, N.Mex. High School library (1983) by a school librarian because of its "sordid, suggestive, permissive type of approach."
