John Green's Book Removed from Young Adult Section Sparks Controversy
John Green's popular young adult novel, "The Fault in Our Stars," has been removed from the teen shelves at Hamilton East Public Library in Indiana due to a new policy targeting books deemed not "age appropriate." Green expressed his disappointment on social media, stating that the decision is ludicrous as the book was written for teenagers and does not harm them. The library board's policy focuses on language about sexuality, profanity, and criminal acts. The review of books in the teen section is expected to continue until next year, with estimated costs reaching up to $300,000.
