[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anything good came out of these past 18 or so months, it's that parents were and are actually watching school board work sessions and meetings in large numbers.

And how do parents keep doing that if people are celebrating a woman who is reading porn with no heads up during a work session?  Some of us are watching or listening and monitoring young kids.  Now we can’t watch because members of the community are using the meeting to broadcast porn?  You think the FCC isn’t getting complaints and won’t fine someone?

FCPS— the first county in the nation to have to broadcast SB meeting on a time delay.

Who are here people cheering for a women bringing this into my house?  There is a Tim and a place. And it’s with [b]adults only[/b] present. Not 7 year olds. [/quote]

I think that's kind of the point she was trying to make:  this type of content should be for adults only.  No for minors.

Believe it or not, you guys are in agreement; you just might draw the line at a different age as to when its appropriate.  But you both believe its not suitable for certain age groups[/quote]

DP.  There is a time, place and manner element that you (and she) are ignoring here.  The regular public libraries circulate romance (and other) novels with graphic sexual scenes in them.  They are intended or mature readers (although younger readers could get access to them), and are perfectly appropriate for public library circulation.  They would not, however, be appropriate to read aloud at a county board meeting for attempted shock value.[/quote]

Presumably then they are inappropriate for school libraries as well. [/quote]
