[quote=Anonymous][quote]They may, or may not be, porn. But, they are salacious and obscene. Ask yourself, why did the graphic pics depicting sexual acts have to be in the graphic novel? Why did the author have to put in such graphic language describing sex between young kids?

+1. Defending the indefensible seems to be what this crowd lives for, whether it’s filth in school libraries or their CRT-fueled student surveys.

Speaking of emotional responses based on misinformation[quote]…[/quote]

Certainly the crowd on this forum defending it.  I haven't seen any good defense of the materials.

Also, what concerns me is the reaction of a member of the SB who is defending it because he thinks it is an attack on the LGBT community.  I would be just as upset if it were pictures of a heterosexual couple experimenting with each other at the age of 10.  Defending the graphic nature of these books is not helpful to his cause.

I did not care for the speaker who chose to pray.  I am not of her faith, but she did have the right to do it.  From movies I've seen, I don't think I would call it an "exorcism," asone of the SB members did.  But, I don't know much about it.  I do think it reflects on the wide range of beliefs and faiths within our community.
Interesting that Ms Omeish frequently thinks we should all bow to her beliefs, but I find it hard to believe that her faith would support having those books available in our school libraries.

I'm also guessing that many atheists would also object.

But, the SB member who read the long statement at the end of the meeting tried to make it all about his own orientation.  I'm sure there are some who do object based on that.  But, I believe that more object just based on the obscene nature of the words and pictures.
