This page deserves a good amount of objective editing. The "history" page is a little biased towards the NCTE, and the "Criticism" section is nothing but a paraphrasing of an article written in 1996. KBurchfiel (talk) 03:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am concerned that none of the links under "Political Activities" result in meaningful information; they are dead-ends at this point in time. However, since they do lead to significant websites, I have identified alternative links to the same websites with however, destinations to those links. For Banned Books, this address links to the ALA site previously linked: http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/banned/index.cfm

Additionally, it seems to me that to link NCLB to the NCTE website will result in a link that will frequently need updating. What was the initial purpose in such a link? 2Bdea (talk) 23:34, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Elaboration on the "history" section[edit]

The article Doublespeak features a developed section on the NCTE Committee on Public Doublespeak, and since said committee had no mention in this article I felt compelled to copy it here too, under the section on NCTE's history (since it is no longer a standing committee). It does seem out of place though, so prehaps we can find information on the other defunct committees of the NCTE and either add their summaries here or make a list and create separate articles for them.

I ended up rethinking and actually removing the Committee on Public Doublespeak discussion because in addition to feeling out of place, it also refers to William Lutz as its current chairman even though the "structure" section of this article describes the NCTE as having only three standing committees among which Doublespeak is not included. I took a quick look at the NCTE page for clarification but a site-wide search for "standing committee on public doublespeak" yielded no results. Etymographer (talk) 20:23, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
