I hope that they sent the SWAT team. Those books can be dangerous. One of them turned me into a newt.
Parents file a police report after teacher offers LGBTQ-themed book to her middle schoolers
“The notion that I was putting children in danger because of books ... I knew I couldn’t go back," said teacher Sarah Bonner.www.nbcnews.com
What can we do as a country to reign in this rightwing redneck rampage against liberty, rights, equality, justice, science, education, etc.? It's a serious problem that will see our nation become a 3rd world theocracy if not resolved.

No, and they have such classes. Sex ed classes deal with those subjects. I am sure that the school has them.

Bridging the Gap Between Believers and Skeptics
I remember my last year of high school I had a Reading class and the teacher pretty much allowed us to read whatever we wanted. I chose the first two James Bond novels, Casino Royale and Live and Let Die. Both are filled with sex, violence, and Live and Let Die even uses the n-word a few times. My book wasn't the censored version. I even wrote book reports based on these books and I never had any trouble with the teacher because of this. Words are words, they really can't hurt anyone.
I think that if people are reading, even if it were Playboy magazine articles, or something of that nature, that's better than not reading at all. Middle school is the age which people are curious about themselves and their bodies too. Remember the scenes in The Wonder Years or Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, which the pre-teens have some books about their changing bodies and how curious they were about it, afraid they'd get caught for sexually explicit material.
Middle school is around the right age to teach them this material because that's when their bodies are actually going through these changes. But I'm not going to over-react and say that we're turning into a "theocracy" either because one parent was upset about this. People on both sides really need to grow up and stop using fear to intimidate people for grossly exaggerating the truth. In reality the only problem here is one parent is overly-sensitive about these topics. That's all.

The problem in this case was not one of just one set of parents reacting badly. It was the school district taking those claims seriously. The school district should have informed the parents that they needed to quit overreacting.

To me, the problem is not the book. The problem to me is that this is another case of people weaponizing cops. "My kids teacher is making him read a book I disagree with!!! I'm sending in thugs with guns to fix it!!!"
So many cases of police brutality, police killings, and civil rights violations all because people feel the need to send cops into situations that they have no business being involved in.
For me, that's the real tragedy of this story.

Books are dangerous...to their ideology.
The more informed and educated someone is, the less susceptible they are to it.

And your increadible ignorance and one track mindedness is abundantly clear in light I already showed the reasons multiple times in my past posts that its the mechanics of the nanny state and not the target of which you directly acknowledged.You yawn to this, but cry like a ***** over plastic bags.
Example 1 of many here.....
Citing staffing issues and political climate, North Idaho hospital will no longer deliver babies.
Can I read about it on something like Wikipedia? I'll give you one better. Something from the horses mouth... https://socialistrevolution.org/new-york-marxist-school-2022-organizing-for-the-socialist-revolution/

Maybe have your memory checked before first typing things that already were explained to you that you habitually ignore time and time again.

Isn't it?
These people are pretty much sick in the heads as they prioritize this unnecessary garbage over a child's essential education.

I get it, but your concerns with the so-called "nanny state" seem to disappear whenever the right tramples on people's rights and freedoms, all of it far more severe than some bag ban.

No as I also had similar statements in past posts deriding the loss of people's freedoms including book access and abortion.
Dosent matter the severity, loss of freedom is loss of freedom.
Psychologists say that children should learn love first.
And then, later on, they can be taught sex. There is no hurry for that.
I fail to understand why they are dying to teach them sex first.

No, your reactions are inconsistent. You tend to downplay or make excuses whenever attacks upon liberty come from the right(which is where they primarily come from).

What "MELTDOWNS"? Are you talking about the parents reaction to a book?
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Nonsense. I challenge you to find where I advocate whatever it is your thinking of aside from matters involving actual children which I support restrictions rather than ought right bans.
Incidentally, I know it's the left more prone to banning than the right ever was.

I would love to know the answer. Then they wonder why they are so screwed up and cannot learn basic education.
Let kids be kids I say.

I think the police call is over the top. Seems more a lawyer issue, although I'm guessing it will go that direction.
