    Not clear what grades participate in the library. Is it up to 8th grade?

    Is this appropriate for your 14 year old?

    For the record, even if it were not homosexual, I would find it inappropriate.

    But Huck Finn is bad...smh.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      It's not appropriate in any public school library. Elementary, Middle, Junior High or High School.

        It's not appropriate anywhere. Some things should be left to one's private life, discussed if need be with parents, mentors and colleagues.

          The fact that 1984 is on the list is funny. Apparently, people felt that it promoted communism, which gives you an idea of the sophistication of who we're dealing with here.

                      I listened to a NYT podcast discussion with Emily Drabinski, who is the president of the American library Association, and a librarian professor. America's top librarian, is how she's billed in the discussion. One of her first points is that parents shouldn't be so sure about what their kids should or shouldn't read. Basically, her perspective is that anybody with conviction about what is or is not right for children, should not have that conviction.

                      Education is extremely important.

                                    18 months ago...

                                    Screenshot 2023-09-12 at 9.04.42 PM.png

                                    To Kill a Mockingbird was "banned?"

                                    Why yes. Yes it was.

                                    The iconic novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" is among five books on race that have been temporarily removed from the required reading list in the Burbank Unified School District after complaints from parents.

                                    Among many issues, several of the books include the "N" word.

                                    Carmenita Helligar raised a red flag when her daughter, the only Black student in her class, was confronted and berated by another student after studying one book.

                                    "The boy said, 'I now know how to count you. And he started saying, 'One, 'N-word,' two 'N-word,' three 'N-word,' just to make her feel bad," said Helligar, who is a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee.

                                    The district says the five books are still available in schools, but they are not on the list of core books that all students must read.

                                    So, not "banned" but removed from required reading because they were offensive.

                                    "Lube" "Ass" etc are not, apparently, offensive.

                                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                        Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                          To Kill a Mockingbird was "banned?"

                                          Why yes. Yes it was.

                                          The iconic novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" is among five books on race that have been temporarily removed from the required reading list in the Burbank Unified School District after complaints from parents.

                                          Among many issues, several of the books include the "N" word.

                                          Carmenita Helligar raised a red flag when her daughter, the only Black student in her class, was confronted and berated by another student after studying one book.

                                          "The boy said, 'I now know how to count you. And he started saying, 'One, 'N-word,' two 'N-word,' three 'N-word,' just to make her feel bad," said Helligar, who is a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee.

                                          The district says the five books are still available in schools, but they are not on the list of core books that all students must read.

                                          So, not "banned" but removed from required reading because they were offensive.

                                          "Lube" "Ass" etc are not, apparently, offensive.

                                          You'd think they'd ban not require Go Set A Watchman before To Kill A Mockingbird.
