The last, and probably most obvious, reason Killing Mr.Griffin is a challenged book is because of the plot/conflict of the story. In the book the students plan to kidnap their English teacher because they disagree with him. Then the students even end up accidentally killing Mr.Griffin, and try to cover their trail instead of calling the police (against Susan's wishes). “You better not call the police! Nobody needs to know what happened here.” (Duncan 122) Children shouldn’t get the idea that it's okay to hurt someone if they disagree with them. Children should know that if there is a problem bothering them then they should go talk about it, not go kidnap their problem and accidentally leave it to die. For Mark, the crazy student, Mr.Griffin
