If you haven’t been following the flap over Lauren Myracle’s new book “Luv Ya Bunches,” here’s a quick rundown.

A week ago, School Library Journal posted an article about Scholastic’s attempt to censor the popular author.

Don’t expect to see “Luv Ya Bunches” at Scholastic book fairs this year, Rocco Staino wrote. The book was being censored for including words such as “geez” and “crap” and a gay couple—the same-sex parents of one of Myracle’s main characters, Milla.

Scholastic had sent a letter to Myracle’s editor asking that the words be omitted and that the couple become heterosexual.

Myracle’s response? She would take out the objectionable words but balked at changing the two moms.

“A child having same-sex parents is not offensive, in my mind, and shouldn’t be ‘cleaned up,’” she told School Library Journal.

After the article appeared, she got a flood of supportive emails—from parents and librarians to indignant tweens and teens, Myracle wrote on her blog.

“thanks, lovies,” she titled it.

And now an update: Scholatstic, continuing to insist this was not censorship, backed down. It announced on Tuesday that it would carry “Luv Ya Bunches” in its spring fairs after all.

Thanks to Rebecca Liebson of White Plains for alerting me to the flap in the first place.
