[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just hold them in private or something?[/quote] Um, because the boards conduct public business subject to public open meetings laws.[/quote] yes, they'd have to change the rules about meetings, but I don't blame the thought. Some folks can't seem to control themselves. I wouldn't want to be a BOE member with all the threats and low pay.[/quote] While there have been some over the top responses, can you really blame the parents? Some B's of E are [b]making terrible decisions and harming kids.[/b] It's only natural for parents to want to protect their kids. [/quote] Can you give an example? Thanks [/quote] DP. [youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b6Xm4AX25tE[/youtube] Why should we allow this at SB meetings?[/quote] Huh? I don’t agree with the public speaker, but it was entirely inappropriate for the school board to interrupt her while reading the excerpt from the book.[/quote] I don't know that it was... it seems like if this topic needs to be addressed and discussed, it should be done in a forum restricted to 18+, e.g. a separate public comment period. If you want to argue 13+ because technically HS kids have access to this book in the library, then you are conflating "[b]some kids have access to these materials if they explicitly seek them out" [/b]with "let's read this out loud to everyone". I'm curious what the library checkout records are on these materials... what percentage of students are _actually_ going and checking out the books in question? Technically they could read without checking out, I'm majorly skeptical that any kids are sneaking around the library just to read a few text passages when they could was more easily obtain illicit imagery or videos elsewhere (if they're so inclined).[/quote] The bolded is a lie. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1037570.page But PP knew it was a lie when she posted her lie. Moreover, the book is appropriate for children or it’s not. It was deliberately placed in a library for children. The idea that the same adults responsible for putting the book there somehow cannot handle hearing a passage read aloud is an obvious indication there may be something extreme or inappropriate. The school board members have been radicalized.[/quote]
