This journal focuses on the censorship of reading materials employed by English teachers in public school classrooms. Separate articles include tongue-in-cheek instructions for how to burn a book; a report on recent censorship trends and actions taken by the National Council of Teachers of English and by the Kentucky Council of Teachers of English to provide for the study of censorship incidents and for guidance for teachers involved in censorship issues; case studies of three Kentucky incidents involving attempted censorship by a student, by the religious community, and by a parent; a report on results of a 1973 survey of Kentucky secondary school teachers regarding the extent of the censorship problem in Kentucky, censorship policies prepared by schools, and the results of various censorship cases; a statement on the issue of academic freedom for public school teachers; and a discussion of protection granted to educators under Kentucky obscenity laws. The journal includes a sample form to be used for a "Citizen's Request for Reconsideration of a Book," and it also includes the questionnaire employed in the 1973 survey of secondary teachers. (GW)
