St. Andrew's Episcopal School, in Austin, Texas, was told by a donor that if they didn't remove the short story Brokeback Mountain (which the movie is based on, so...gay cowboys) from it's library, they could consider themselves out of the 3 million dollars he was going to donate.
And you know what they did? They decided to keep the book.
Which in itself blows my world, but it's also started a new collective of writers. So check out AS IF! (Authors Support Intellectual Freedom). And don't forget to send out mental props to the St. Andrew's Episcopal School.
