Wanting virtual why? Did they give reasons? We are nowhere near needing to go virtual. Not even close.

Parents can opt their kid out. No need to ban books.

Do you know what the book was? Now I'm curious.

I think it was Lawn Boy. There may have been more than one book. The language was extremely graphic in describing what the characters did sexually. And, they apparently did it with an older man--I think that was the pedophilia part.

Very disturbing. Not appropriate language for a SB meeting and not appropriate language for minors in a high school.

This is the book? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/669427.Lawn_Boy

I couldn’t believe they cut off the lady who was just reading the perverted porn novel about the 4th grader.

Because they’re scared of covid. They spoke at the last meeting too. They don’t care that numbers are low, risks are low.

No, there are two books by the same name. Lawn Boy by Jonathan Evison is the one for older kids.

I felt bad for those parents. They seemed very scared.

I found more info about the book online. Seems that, yes, this is the latest conservative call to action.

But I mean, the book was a little over the top, no?

Of course it is. These people don’t have independent thoughts. They just follow marching orders. What was the name of the speaker who wouldn’t stop when her time elapsed? No need to hide the name since she provided it for a public meeting.

Parent of a Kindergartener here. Why didn’t y’all tell me I should watch these with a glass of wine and a couple girlfriends?

20:49 here — there was an intervening poster. I am not interested in second guessing librarians. If a parent doesn’t like a book, parent/censor your high schooler.

Depends on the age of the kid. My child is in 3rd grade and I don't think he even knows what the word dick means. However I know kids in high school who clearly know it, know kids who have tugged on them behind the bushes, etc. I could see this being fodder for discussion w/a group of junior/seniors about consensual sex, pressure to have sex. regret after sex, etc.

Did you hear her read the language? I would not want my high school DD having to sit through a discussion of this.

And, when I was in high school, we thought Chaucer was dirty....

It was disgusting. My husband came into the room and asked what the hell I was watching. Pretty disturbing crap. Especially if it’s about a 4th grade boy and an adult. How is that even legal?
