Curriculum Controversy

The book, Whale Talk, used in curriculum in a high school English class was recently called into question for using racial slurs. After a review by board appointed community members, it was recommended the book stay part of the curriculum at MVHS. The school board agreed and the book remained part of curriculum at the high school.
