|description_of_incident=Ralph Ellison's novel was one of the three suggested books to read for the summer for 11th grade students. It came under challenge when a mother of one of the students thought that the novel had too many sexual references and profane language, and a member of the Board of Education agreed that he did not find any literary value in the book. As a result, the Randolph County school board voted 5-2 to ban the book from school libraries in the county. | |description_of_incident=Ralph Ellison's novel was one of the three suggested books to read for the summer for 11th grade students.
