QUOTE Alabama State Representative Gerald Allen is on record as wanting to ban gay marriage, but now he's turned his attention to the state's libraries--both public and school. Allen wants to pass a law to ban books with gay characters. He also wants textbooks that suggest homosexuality is okay out of state schools. ...for we musn't let others read 'gay' books and become 'abnormal'

pfft. the people that determine whether or not books are banned or challenged are limiting a young reader's limits even more.
teachers teach that "the sky is our limit" Yet school can't teach you everything. On your own, you`ll read books. & yet books about drugs, sex, sexuality. are being banned and challenged. plus, books that were never written, aren't going to be written because of that specific reason. |
