Florida school district removes five books after parents object to ‘sex, violence, pedophilia’ on their pages

A Moms for Liberty chapter in Florida scored a victory this week when it got five books removed from a school district after highlighting their graphic depictions of sex, violence, pedophilia, bestiality and other subject matter inappropriate for school children.
The Leon County schools superintendent confirmed Tuesday that “Dead End” by Jason Meyer, “Push” by Sapphire, “Doomed” by Chuck Palahniuk, “Lucky” by Alice Sebold and “Me, Earl and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews had all been pulled from the shelves of two high schools.
Those titles and others were identified by parents and the Leon County Moms for Liberty chapter as corrosive to children and deserving of ejection.
“The books that we are talking about are dark, depressive, utterly hopeless and damaging,” said Priscilla West, chair of the local Moms for Liberty chapter, at a Tuesday board meeting.
“The board rightly recognized that graphic narrative accounts of violent rape, incest, pedophilia, bestiality should be removed immediately.”

Good!!

Every conservative in every school district needs to go after this kind of stuff and trumpet it loudly. It's the equivalent to the Nazis or the KKK - stuff so toxic that to support it makes you the monster, not the person or group trying to stop it.

Absolutely!! This should be a no-brainer.

Reminds me of a song title by Bob Seger:
"Little Victories" ...

Who ever approved those books needs to be named, shamed and fired. (I have other, less polite ideas, but you get the idea.)
