Unless the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) takes action by July 4th, Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen, will become 18th book permanently banned statewide in Utah. Please contact board members and ask them to overturn the ban and restore local control! letutahread.org/localcontrol

Tell USBE to Vote for Local Control — LET UTAH READ

Tell Utah State School Board (USBE) to overturn the statewide book bans on Water for Elephants and affirm the power of local school districts to govern themselves.
