AP "A committee in northern Idaho that reviews school library books will recommend that high school students be allowed to check out two novels without first receiving permission from parents, some of whom find the books offensive."Just another example of how other people, who don't love your child, want to usurp parental authority. Why do they have such a need to supersede a parent's right to protect their child from inappropriate material? If a person outside the educational community tried that, they'd be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, or something like that. Who gave educators the right to make decisions that affect our children? There are some pretty fine teachers out there who are doing a great job, but dolts like these make them all look bad.

My word. People with any sense will know that the decisions of a society should be made by the culture and local norms of that society (in absence of a theocracy, of course). Setting one's little "club" up to be the elite decision-maker regarding the granting of "choice" to children and teenagers is loaded for conflict. Which I hope they get.
Me, too, Ginger!
