member of the Flagler County, Florida school board has filed a criminal complaint over four copies of an LGBTQ book recommended for 14 to 18 year olds, claiming it violates the state's obscenity laws.

"My concern is for the children of Flagler County," Jill Woolbright claims, according to the Palm Coast Observer. "This book needs to be investigated as a crime in our media center. This is pretty heavy stuff, violating our own policies. [/quote]

Book banning. I don’t think you really understand the meaning of the phrase. It is impossible for a school to ban a book. Sure, it can exclude a book from its library and not make it a part of the curriculum on the grounds that a significant portion of parents believe that reading “great literature” containing descriptions of fisting and the like is not necessary to become educated.  But these books are still available in the marketplace. In fact, parents are free to expose their own children to pornographic material to whatever extent they choose. But schools should not make the consumption of these materials compulsory and are not obligated to make them freely available. This is really not a complicated issue. [/quote]

They know all of this. There are certain people who have kept this thread alive for years because they are so desperate for the state to provide sexual material to other people’s children. Of course they likely don’t even have children.[/quote]

No, it is about free speech and exchange of ideas. Things the right was supposed to be so adamant about when wanting a nativity scene on public space.[/quote]

No. It’s about sexual content. Why not put hustler in the school library if you are  a free speech absolutist?

And please spare us the nonsense that book banning is only coming from one side.

And you support banning the Bible in school libraries, correct?  If not you are a hypocrite. [/quote]

Of course. As an atheist I believe that no religion should be promoted to children in public schools.

I notice that you didn’t respond to my question. Why not provide hustler to your kids in school, you support that right? Or perhaps you’re the hypocrite. [/quote]

Anyone who compares Hustler to the books that Moms for “Liberty” are trying to remove from school libraries and classrooms is not arguing in good faith. And clearly also not a lover of books  [/quote]

Anyone who actually considers "Gender Queer" et al to be on a booklover's list is not arguing in good faith.  I mean, seriously?  Do you even hear yourself?
