I thought the Art Spiegelman response to having Maus censored was worth sharing here. I realized recently that I forgot to remind everyone about Banned Books Week which occurred September 26 – October 2 last year.
Let’s celebrate now. Happy Belated Banned Books Week! M. E. Kerr has joined the ranks of authors who have works banned or challenged for various reasons. I will follow the tradition of sharing previously gathered information below:

As it is Banned Books Week, it seems like the right time to note books by M. E. Kerr that have been banned or challenged over the years. I will list what I have gathered over the years.
Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack -Banned or challenged for “references to religion, drug use and potential use of heroin.”
Gentlehands – Banned or challenged for “showing one Nazi in a positive light.”
Hello I Lied – Banned or challenged for “homosexual content.”
I’ll Love You When You’re More Like Me – Banned or challenged because “a character has a gay friend.”
Night Kites – Banned or challenged for “discussing AIDS and homosexuality.”
I believe the following titles were “challenged” which means questioned but not banned:
