Some residents of Orange County, Calif. are trying to remove Maya Angelou's classic memoir "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" from school libraries in Huntington Beach, claiming it is inappropriate for children.
A scene from a book that depicts the rape of an eight-year-old girl was read aloud Monday night during the Huntington Beach City Council meeting.
"I'm not happy to read this, I'm not proud to read this," said Huntington Beach resident Judy Ahrens, according to KABC. "It's very uncomfortable to read it, but we have to do things that aren't comfortable for the sake of our kids."
The protesters say they're upset the book can be found in school libraries in four separate school districts.
