In April 2005, the board of education in the Muhlenberg School District was forced to break one of their school policies after several parents complained about a book that has been included in the school's curriculum. The book, "The Buffalo Tree," by Adam Rapp has a passage detailing how an adolescent boy becomes sexually aroused in a communal shower. After the board members had read the book under question, they passed a motion to remove it from the curriculum. Joe Yarworth, Muhlenberg's superintendent, was caught in a tight situation.
