    The school would still have to be the one buying the books so they just won’t buy any book they deem inappropriate. I’m sure this is mainly just to stop zealots from banning everything related to evolution. Also, I haven’t read Naked Lunch but from what I know of it, I doubt it has anything kids can’t get on the Internet nowadays.

    From the article:

    The bill permits restriction in the case of “developmentally inappropriate material” for certain age groups. The measure also requires local school boards and the governing bodies of public libraries to set up policies for book curation and the removal of library materials, including a way to address concerns over certain items.

      Doesn’t know the book: check Casually dismisses the entire topic of moderating children’s content intake: check

      It’s pretty clear you don’t know what you’re talking about on any level here.

        Sounds like you’re having a bad day. I even gave you a quote from the article that answers your exact question. Everything okay at home?

          I’m responding to this:

            So you took one sentence out of context and used it to dismiss the rest of the comment with objections that had already been addressed by the parts you dismissed?

              I may be over focusing on that one part of your comment but it does stand out from the rest as rather asinine and contributing nothing to the point.

                Nah, mate. Wanna take a guess at what actually does stand out as rather asinine and contributing nothing to the point?

                  The part where you implied something must be wrong in my personal life because I didn’t give your comment the response you think it deserves? You’re right - that too.

                    I didn’t imply that. You did by leaving an overly hostile response to a comment about an article you didn’t read with objections that were addressed before you left your comment.
