Greeley-Evans District 6 Board of Education votes 5-1 to keep book on shelves after review

Greeley Tribune: A library book that’s only been checked out twice since its purchase in 2018 will remain available at Greeley Central High School after undergoing Greeley-Evans School District 6’s book review process.

Though “The God of Small Things” by Arundhati Roy has received little attention from students, more than 150 people signed forms in 2022 saying they wanted it banned or restricted from local school libraries.

Despite an appeal from one community member, the majority of the Greeley-Evans Board of Education voted at Monday’s board meeting to uphold the District 6 Book Review Committee and the superintendent’s recommendation to keep “The God of Small Things” without any restrictions.
