Good for those kids.

I also see kids wearing masks and cooperating with protocol while adults are throwing fits.

Once you normalize the act of banning books, for example, books questioning trans orthodoxy, you make it easy to ban books on any subject.

The only time books should be banned is if they're not age appropriate. Obviously you don't want hustler magazine handed out in a library, or "kiss the girls" loaned out to elementary aged students.

And this goes both ways. Enough with classics removed too because they aren't politically correct enough. Children should have access to literature that challenges their minds, along with guideline with difficult topics.

I agree R5. Classics should be read keeping the time in which they were written in mind. If some don’t consider them PC for one reason or another, then it opens the door for discussions and that will lead to learning experiences.

And you know the people banning these books are the same people who say “don’t blame me for my ancestors racism” lol

[quote]God bless the kids at Pa's Central York HS. When mush-minded parents rammed through a ban on books about MLK, Rosa Parks, Malala and others, these students fought back. Monday night, they won
