Removing pornography from schools is not a "book ban" you can still get the smut from the local library.

Sure would be nice to hear an apology about all the porn I uncovered. An acknowledgement of all the porn that remains. A rapid plan to fix the actual problem instead of pretending that I am the problem. Start by recognizing how big the problem really is. https://www.wethepeople2.us/inappropriate-books-in-school/

Hi Bruce, from whom specifically are you requesting an apology?

From - all involved parties [Superintendent David Broskie; Chief Academic Officer Roger Dailey; Supervisor of instructional Resources Cynthia Johnson; Ms. Staife in purchasing; *the entire school board; many complicit Media Specialists; many members of the NEA and ALA and FSBA...] To - this community [NOT TO ME]. Followed by a prompt and thorough purge via a rubric of worth. A rubric based on community standards [NOT MY STANDARDS - I'll say it again, it's not about me]. By the way, there are things worse than mere porn. If you don't address them, they will surely worsen. Josh, imagine if we used this opportunity to create safer libraries and then kids feel safer and then kids read more good books. Now help this community create a plan that makes this happen sooner. FYI, if it complicates or infringes on anyone's ability to challenge a book (or many), it's not a solution, and also it's unconstitutional.
