Here we go again. My local school district has apparently decided to ban "When Jeff Comes Home" from the library after vociferous complaints from a parent.
Here is a column from the Dallas Morning News which lays out the affair, with some editorializing. However, I agree with one of her key conclusions:

If one parent does not want his or her child to read a particular book, fine. The parent has the ultimate authority for that child – but not for anybody else's.

The Irving ISD should not be in the business of attempting to impose the value system of a parent (or parents) across the whole school district. That is not their business. If a parent doesn't want little Johnny or Mary to read "When Jeff Comes Home" they have a right to request that their children not read it. However, if the school district has agreed to withdraw the book because of the complaints of a single parent, that is an action of craven, cowardly expediency.
However, if that is what they have done, it wouldn't exactly be an extraordinary event. This is merely another (and for me, irritatingly local) instance of a widespread tradition of trying to censor books. Here is a more recent list of books banned in Texas in recent years.
See here for some more information on this tendency. Note the number of fairly-well-known books that have been subjected to bans and banning attempts over the years, including several works by William Shakespeare...
