This was all over Gaiman's twitter timeline, and it's been established that the complaining mother is "that sort of parent" (she brought TV news cameras with her to the school when she demanded that the book be removed from the reading list) and that the school librarian and many parents were fighting against the stupidity. Unfortunately, it seems that the school administration has no cojones and the last thing I read about this is that they've continued to capitulate to this idiotic woman.

The complaining mother also said, rather proudly, that she "didn't have time to read a 400-page book because that's the school's responsibility" but that she "knew it was inappropriate for teens."

A few disgusted students from the school read it anyway and stated that they didn't know what all the fuss is about. The crusading mother is obviously a famewhore and a self-proclaimed arbiter of all that is good, moral and holy. Stupid situation all around.
