(AP) - Sherlock Holmes' first adventure has been removed from sixth-grade reading lists in a central Virginia county. Brette Stevenson, a parent of a Henley Middle School student, had complained that "A Study in Scarlet" is derogatory toward Mormons. The Daily Progess ( <http://bit.ly/oRCjig> http://bit.ly/oRCjig) reports that the Albemarle County School Board voted Thursday night to remove the book. A committee commissioned to study the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel said in a report that it's not age-appropriate for sixth-graders. The book includes a flashback to 1847 Utah that recounts the actions of a Mormon community when a non-Mormon man wants to marry the daughter of one of its members. Stevenson said she's pleased with the decision. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
