I think you believe that you’re telling us some awful truth, but those of us who volunteer in our kids’ libraries and have read the books your side is banning know you’re full of sit.

Furthermore, your repeated linkage of “porn” and “schools” really tells on you.


Funny how Mr. Steele deletes the posts that shows it and school boards don't let it be read out loud.



So, now you have an issue with censorship? Funny how that works.


It's his show he can do whatever he want.

But if not appropriate on this website or school board meeting, not for the children's.


The "children's" weren't reading that book. It was in a high school.

And since 99.999 % of high schoolers have phones, they have access to true porn 24/7.

So don't give us that crap about how you want to protect the little darlings from porn.




Well some of us don't give our children smartphones or let them have unfiltered access to the Internet.


Post teenagers.

Your high schooler does not have a phone?!? I’m guessing you also homeschool and don’t have a TV in the house.

Most Americans don’t want porn in schools.

Ah yes, another member of the loud 30% who thinks they’re the majority. In reality, book banning - even for school libraries and Republicans everywhere are going way beyond that - is extremely unpopular among most Americans.


Most people incorrectly assume school libraries aren’t stocking sexually explicit materials.




You don't want your kid reading about life, forbid them to checkout books unless you approve.


Here's the thing. When I went to college, the WORST kids, were those that came from families that wanted to protect their innocent eyes from anything. OMG, it was scary!

Today, kids see everything on their phones. Just because you think you are protecting your little snowflakes, they can see whatever they want, whether it's on their phone or their friend's phones.

All you can do is expose your kids and talk to them about it. If you don't they will still get the info, just from places you don't want them to.

Sex is a part of life. It should be taught early.


Yes, sex s a part of life. And, should be handled early by PARENTS.
Not with books bordering on pornography available in school libraries.
And, you can claim this isn't happening. But, it s.

Oh man. Most teens do not want sex handled by parents. Yikes.

Books are a perfect way for kids to safely learn about sex. How could people object to that?

That is eroticism, not porn. And it is high school. When the heck do you expect kids to learn about sex.



Just what we should be teaching in public schools!!!

Is it any wonder the test scores of US students in reading, math, and science are abysmal?


Were they teaching this book? Or was it just in the library.

All kinds of books were in my school libraries in the 70s, including books being pulled off the shelves now by the culture warriors.

The 1st Amendment means books stay on shelves. You have no right to determine what other people's kids read, even in schools.



In Florida, it's been TWO PEOPLE who are getting most books pulled. These people are menaces.

Test scores are abysmal because we haven’t been teaching kids to read for the last 40 years.
That has nothing to do with censorship.

I read The Joy of Sex when I was 12.

A neighbor had it and I devoured it during several evenings of babysitting while the kids were in bed.

It was extremely informative. It also led to me putting of sex until after college.

Knowledge is power.


This was Judy Bloom's Forever for me. I put off sex until mid-college due to the information I had.

Second, what grade was this allegedly in?

Third, sex is not porn.


First of all, his story is easy to check since he identified the school where he found the book.

Second, does it matter? Why should we have tax payers fund these types of books at all? There is plenty of good literature for students to read. This is not it.

Third - if you think the book described is not porn, feel free to purchase it for your kid. It should not be funded by tax payers and found in school libraries.
