The Book of Bunny Suicides, 1. Taffy Anderson, 0. School Board members in Brownsville, Oregon voted yesterday to keep the graphic novel The Book of Bunny Suicides by Andy Riley in the Central Linn High School library. The book, which depicts cartoons of rabbits committing suicide in a variety of ways, was challenged and temporarily removed in October. Anderson called the book inappropriate and threatened to burn the book when her 13 year-old son brought it home.
The removal of Riley's book drew a lot of concern and interest from across the country. The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon even sent a letter stating that removing the book was a violation of the First Amendment.
