Library book bans are fueling national fights and a new Florida lawsuit. But only one such case has ever ended up before the Supreme Court: the mostly forgotten Island Trees v. Pico.
Genevieve Lakier, a law professor at the University of Chicago, said the Supreme Court was trying to balance two competing considerations: that students should be exposed to all sorts of ideas in their quest to learn, and that local school boards have a mandate to regulate that exposure as they see fit.“The line that the court draws is a very fine one,” Lakier said — too fine to settle the matter for good.
The court’s decision didn’t immediately calm any turbulence in Levittown, either. Over the summer of 1982, 1,200 Island Trees parents petitioned to return the banned books to the library shelves. The board wanted to slap the books with a “Parental Notification Required” warning, but New York Attorney General Robert Abrams said that move would violate a state law on the confidentiality of library records.
“I would love for the ACLU to pick it up,” Rieger said. “But I would be nervous about it happening now.”
