A Florida school board was forced to cut off a dad's microphone after he read 'pornography' in an attempt to show people an example of books that can be found in schools.
Bruce Friedman tried to read an excerpt from Alice Sebold's 1999 memoir 'Lucky,' which documents her rape as a college freshman and how it affected her.
Friedman is the president of the Florida chapter of No Left Turn in Education, a group dedicated to the mission of 'reviving in American public education the fundamental discipline of critical and active thinking which is based on facts, investigation, logic, and sound reasoning.'
Friedman highlighted three books that he found inappropriate, including 'Lucky.' The other two were 'A Court of Silver Flames' by Sarah J. Maas and 'Triangles' by Ellen Hopkins.
All three books contain graphic details of sexual encounters that vary in nature, but all of which were found objectionable by Friedman.
So they're apparently totally a-okay with school children reading this trash yet when brought up to the supposed "adults" they get all angry and upset?? If they think it's all fine why should they care???
That is strange, unless the book is only available at, say, the high school level. The board member has a point that a.public meeting, which technically would be watched by anyone at any age, has restrictions.

You mean 13 and 14 year old children can read it but adults can't?
It started with the hard-core Liberal Democrats pushing the LGBTQ BS for votes and has not stopped. It has now gone as far as pushing the LGBTQ BS into schools to grades as low as K -3. These people that support this crap are perverts and sick in the head and need real medical help. This why they elected a Pedophile for a president.
Satan walks the earth and school boards and reaches unions are just a tool for his lies. And the sad part about all of this is that good people are being dragged DOWN with it.
school boards are elected. if they aren’t representing the community they serve then vote them out.
