But the idea of a school completely removing access to a book is troubling to others.
“I don’t like the idea of just taking a book out because someone has an issue with it. Really, that’s more the parents job. I feel that we can look at those with kinds; we can talk about what is in the book. It really shouldn’t be the school job to teach the kids that, that’s a parent issue I believe,” Sara Green said.
Green likens this decision to the Harry Potter books, which were removed from some schools. No matter where parents stand on this most recent book debate, they all agree that parent-student communication is critical.
“I think it’s important for a parent and a child to be open with each other. But it also should be the parents decision to decide what’s best for them,” Giblin said.
“They’re exposed to it whether it’s in the book or not, so maybe it is a good thing to have there for a parent to have that frank discussion with their child to teach them what is and isn’t appropriate about it,” Green said.
Exactly! Why do some parents think they know what is best for other people’s kids?
Do these middle school libraries have any Chick tracts in their collections?
These fundy douchebags need to get a life.
Why the fuck should 1200 kids be subjected to the idiocy of one shitbag parent who thinks they know best? Would the school reverse the policy if someone complained about the book being removed?
I will be that parent.
don’t worry GoD, by the time your angel is in middle school Lolita will be on the recommended reading list.
