"Ten or 12 years ago, a committee of district people was called together to devise a basic policy through which all plays and musicals have to be approved." The policy's basic concept states that any language or content that parents disapprove of or is unsafe to students will be edited. "We don't want to put the students in situations that are unfair, to them," sated Worthen. v "We make necessary revisions to some, while some arc returned with no changes at all" page 3 ' rating and is inserted into the approved reading list Some may have a comment, "This novel is highly controversial; teach with prudence," such as Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World," which has top marks on the readability and merit scales. The committee may also recommend that the book be used only as supplementary material for r advanced stu- dents, and not in " The plays and ? . I AU kftOW 15 that mhpn vent rpnt the the classroom.

"I've had some who ignore the recommendations and leave the swearing in. Those who do so do it at their own risk." Worthen added that he doesn't know about the legality of making ' changes in the plays. "All I know is that when you rent the scripts, they have a statement asking the director to make changes in pencil so that they can be .erased when the script is sent back. To me, this means that minor changes are acceptable. I'd be opposed to making major changes, such as adapting a play to fit a particular school, changing endings, or using music as a school song. What we're talking about , here, however, is minor". . ASS ALONG AN HEIRLOOM MORE : VALUABLE THAN GOLD. . Life.
