Board of Education vs. Pico (1982). A School Board in New York ordered the removal of nine books from junior high and high school libraries which were considered anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic and filthy. Students at the schools, including Steven Pico, sued claiming a denial of their First Amendment rights. The Supreme Court ruled that school boards could not just remove books from libraries simply because they didn't like the ideas in them.
