In 2013 the district board voted 5-2 to ban
Invisible Man from the school libraries. Gary Mason, a board member, said that he "didn’t find any literary value."
[2] The board vote occurred after a parent of an 11th grade student at
Randleman High School complained about the book.

[4] After immediate outrage from residents and negative national coverage, the board voted 6-1 to reverse the decision within two weeks.
