I'm in the Sherwood school district, which has had two notable censorship incidents in the last year:  the cancellation of the Sherwood Middle School play "Higher Ground" last year, and the challenge to the novel "Grendel" at Sherwood High School this year.  Fortunately the school board was wise enough to resist the request to censor "Grendel" from the 10th grade Advanced Placement class, but I am sure that the parent group that is responsible for both incidents will be challenging other district happenings in the future.
