[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a question:

If the parent had gone directly to the school librarian, would she have been listened to?

If she had written a SB member, when there have been any action?

"Gender Queer" had no place in a school library.  Had it not been there, there would not be so many books being challenged.

Librarians appear to have little common sense.

There is a difference between "banning books" and limiting what is in school libraries.[/quote]

There is a book challenge regulation that spells out the challenge process. There is a regulation on how librarians build collections. It’s not about seeing something on Fox News and then screaming at the school board a la Langton. Follow the process if you think there is a problem. And parent your own kid, not mine.[/quote]

Honestly, I have to laugh at this for several reasons:

1.  The current challenge process consists of people handpicked by FCPS validating the decisions made by people employed by FCPS.  If you think that's a good process, you should at least want to have people from the community representing a wider variety of views participating in that process. With another 12-0 Democratic School Board, that's not going to happen

2.  The "parent you own kid, not mine" line comes from people who are happy to police the speech of, and throw the book at, other parents' kids, not theirs, so long as they can justify it as designed to promote "equity" or a "caring culture."  It's just any type of restraint or discretion when it comes to sexually explicit materials that turns them into Libertarians.  [/quote]

You are so deep in right wing talking points that there is no point engaging with you.

Besides I shouldn’t have derailed this thread mentioning book bans. There are already threads about that discussion so feel free to continue the debate there. I was just trying to explaine why I won’t vote for Davis.[/quote]
