Do they support banning books in school libraries or do they allow our professional librarians to make choices pursuant to the checks and balances of the current regulations?

So you support graphic novels showing sexual acts?

It doesn't matter if I, or the PP, do. What does matter is YOU not decided that for me.

As YOU and others do not get to decide to show that to my child without my permission and knowledge of said items. Not np.

If you really cared about your kid, you would get off the internet and interact with her. I don’t have kids, but I teach them, and I think a lot of you suffer from the same addiction as they do - cell phone and social media addiction.

So much deflection to defend the indefensible.

Most teens in HS are old enough to read those books. Most are sexually active and there really is nothing shocking in those books. They have seen much, much worse for years.

Not every high schooler has had sex. School shouldn't be about sex. That's inappropriate. Just like pron videos are inappropriate on school grounds. Or is that actually - is that cool now in the library too? Pornhub?

This pedo tactic was covered in my training to volunteer at my child's school. We have to do several hours of training to protect kids from pedophiles. It included interviews with pedophiles, who explain how they prime kids by leaving out graphic books or magazines. This is literally what pedophiles are known to do!!!

I pretty much vote D but this dispute about what is appropriate or not baffles me. I believe these books are inappropriate for a school library and don't understand why it isn't just common sense. This along with the whittling away of expectations makes me happy my kids are almost done with FCPS.

The books are part of their grooming process to normalize sex with kids.

Exactly. Groomers perpetuate the myth that “everyone is doing it”. Beware of people who want to normalize sex with children.

Wow - the hysterics! Just so much manufactured outrage.

The books aren’t anything like cornhub. But you already know that. Sad that you can’t make a point without lying.

Again, nothing shocking in these books. They have all seen much worse.

The only people making this about sex are the depraved Republicans trying to whip up some faux outrage. Sexual content is only a small part of these stories.

FAUX OUTRAGE.

Not outrage. Not unless my child saw it. Then heck yes, I'd be outraged.

Is disgusting. I'm disgusted. Its child sex grooming. And sad for the kids.

Who supports this? All these things sound good to me.
- moderate D

The candidates running at Large, in Springfield, and in Hunter Mill.

Are you trying to portray crazy Harry Jackson as a moderate?

Harry Jackson has been in the news a lot and none of it good. https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/harry-jackson-republican-running-for-fairfax-school-board-spends-hours-conversing-with-far-right-groypers/65-1b8fb3b1-2d96-4300-afd8-b83fdcec79a0

I agree and I said this in the other thread. Fairfax is so blue now that any R who could win here is necessarily going to be moderate.

[Anonymous]

But none of the R candidates are moderate.

It stands to reason that the Ds will claim that any candidates opposing their candidates are “extremists.”

I hope every candidate gets a fair chance to be heard.

It’s actually good that Moon and McDaniel are back. And perhaps some of the more moderate independents will end up endorsed by the GOP.

[Anonymous]

It’s sad that school board elections have become a battle of the far right and the far left. Seems that there are a lot of people who are dissatisfied by both extremes.

Have a handful of LGTBQ books in a high school library isn't "child sex grooming" FFS.

Your lying and hysteria are so transparent.
