Notably: Last week Youth Action Fund, the non-profit advocacy organization created by no less than Cameron Driggers, who graduated from Flagler Palm Coast High School, led a rally against book-banning in Brevard County. Florida Today put the crowd at 200. The paper reported: “The protest’s stated purpose, organizers said: To show students are tired of book bans and that they want free access to literature ahead of the board’s plan to approve the banning of “A Court of Thorns and Roses” by Sarah J. Maas. The fantasy novel, marketed toward young and new adults, has been removed from shelves in several school districts nationwide, with officials citing sexual content.” And that evening, the Brevard County School Board voted to ban the book. WMFE had this list of books being reviewed for bans in Brevard. Should we be happy that we haven’t had any book-banning follies in Flagler County? No: it’s only an indication that self-censorship and “weeding,” the wholesale elimination of books under the guise of culling collections, has won out.

The wolf crept closer, and a twig snapped beneath one of his paws—each bigger than my hand. The doe went rigid. She glanced to either side, ears straining toward the gray sky. With the wolf’s downwind position, she couldn’t see or smell him. His head lowered, and his massive silver body—so perfectly blended into the snow and shadows—sank onto its haunches. The doe was still staring in the wrong direction. I glanced from the doe to the wolf and back again. At least he was alone—at least I’d been spared that much. But if the wolf scared the doe off, I was left with nothing but a starving, oversize wolf—possibly a faerie—looking for the next-best meal. And if he killed her, destroying precious amounts of hide and fat… If I judged wrongly, my life wasn’t the only one that would be lost. But my life had been reduced to nothing but risks these past eight years that I’d been hunting in the woods, and I’d picked correctly most of the time. Most of the time. The wolf shot from the brush in a flash of gray and white and black, his yellow fangs gleaming. He was even more gargantuan in the open, a marvel of muscle and speed and brute strength. The doe didn’t stand a chance. I fired the ash arrow before he destroyed much else of her.

–From Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses (2015).
