Would you let your 8 year old read something like Hustler magazine? Or watch XXX rated movies?
There is a difference between “banning books” and keeping particular age inappropriate materials away from kids.
I should of said “For most people there is a difference…”

"should have said" Anyway, I don't think the school library vigilantes are focused on nekkid magazines or porn videos. Someone has yanked their leash so they bark, don't even know what they are barking at.

A perfect example of the foxifacation of thought in US. Can you show 1 example of a child exposed to porn in a classroom, school or public library? I would be willing to bet, if I had a way to prove it, that just like when I was a kid, most first exposure to porn is when they find a parent's hoard.
No the conflict comes when somebody is offended by things like To Kill a Mockingbird or Diary of Ann Franks
News reports one governor is wanting to prohibit teaching about MLK in public schools.
In my extended family there is a mother that thru a fit when kid got the first Harry Potter book for Christmas. The kids also missed the Twilight series. Can't say it helped or hurt the kids, but did not affect others.

When I show you the video of the father in Dearborn leafing through just such a book as I described - then what?
Do you then claim it wasn’t really on the shelf in their kids elementary school? (Or maybe it’s the updated version of “The Diary of Anne Frank”)
Just keep drinking the koolaid - Don’t let facts get in the way.

Nah, not really. I only see her a couple times of year and think about her when people talk about the "value" of college.

Facts, you like facts, right? Sorry about the one Fox News link, it came up in my Yahoo feed, I'm not a Fox News guy, nor am I a CNN or MSNBC news guy. But facts are facts, right?

Before this thread gets locked, I’d just like to point out that it is “college.”
Good grief, what a bunch of freaking ninnies.

Did they also remove the book where two daughters get their father drunk so they could get pregnant? These same two daughters who were offered up for gang **** by their father. Seems like inappropriate reading for children and might be used to indoctrinate children.
