A New Jersey school board voted to ban a gay-themed book from a high school library following a complaint from a local chapter of Glenn Beck's 9.12 Project, a conservative group that asks visitors to its website to "Help us restore America."

The school in question is in Mount Holly, a town located in Burlington County, New Jersey, reported the Philadelphia Inquirer on May 5. The article said that 18 9.12 members attended a March 18 meeting and demanded that three books be taken out of the high school's library.
