[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do understand why you might decide you don't want your kids reading xyz books.  But why do you think you get to decide what my kids read?  That is so controlling I am not sure why anyone is for it.

As to the discussions of pornography - there has to be a process within each system for someone to lodge a complaint that something is pornographic.  In FCPS, someone lodged a complaint about this book.  FCPS pulled the book, and then had a board review the book.  They found that it was not pornography.  And they substantiated their position, and returned the book to circulation. The fact that some people disagree with that characterization is not surprising, but honestly I thought they did a fair and good job.  The book is not pornographic in my view.  And books with difficult subjects are exactly the books that should be protected.

Stop your kids from reading whatever you want.  I will continue to encourage my children to read anything they want to.  I believe it is the very best thing I can do to give them strength and knowledge as they prepare to go out into the world.

Look earlier in this thread - there are book bans going on in adult libraries too.  [b]Again so controlling I am not sure why any rational person would be for it. [/b][/quote]
Because a lot of people don’t tune in to politics regularly and what is regurgitated by the corporate media, or even by the right wing media that some people consume thinking it’s the news, will think of this however they frame it. Neither corporate media nor right wing media are going to frame this for what it is: a shocking overstep by controlling people with bad educations.

There are already provisions for parents to prevent their children from reading anything that might enlighten them about the world and the people in it. Whackadoos like the controlling church lady on this thread just don’t find that to be sufficient. The offending material must be gone, removed and not even in the library. [/quote]
