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]

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.

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]
