Censorship in Texas

Mary Galbraith commends this blog by Pete Hautman to your attention:

Last week I received an email from wildly-popular YA author Ellen Hopkins (Crank, Impulse) letting me know that she had been “uninvited” to the 2011 Teen Lit Fest in Humble, Texas. Ellen made it clear that she was majorly pissed-off about it.
The biennial Teen Lit Fest (TLF) in Humble (a suburb of Houston) has become one of the premier teen literature festivals in the country.

The high school and middle school librarians behind the event are a passionate and dedicated group with a deep love of teen literature. . .
