Some of you can’t tell the difference between books that kids should not read and they a public school shouldn’t buy and freedom of speech allowing people to print books for others to buy on Amazon they you may not like, eg the Anarchist Cookbook. Who care they suggested burning the books - red herring - the real issue is why was this garbage in a public school to begin with? Should we be giving Rabelais to the K-5 set next? Perhaps a little a Marquis de Sade? On the plus side at least the writing will surely be better.

I don't know who you are but please stop suggesting that you get to decide what constitutes "garbage" among the books my kids can choose from in their school library. You are not raising my kids and should have no influence on them. If you don't want your kids reading certain books then send the list of books you forbid them to check out to your school so the librarian knows to tell your kids, "sorry, your dad won't allow you to read this."[/quote]

So who does get to decide?  The School Board in Fairfax likely had no clue about those books until the woman presented it at the meeting.[/quote]

School librarians? The people who get a Masters in such a thing? Child literacy experts?[/quote]
