Florida County Bans 20+ Jodi Picoult Books. Here's What She Thinks About That
I was only able to listen to about half the podcast. My kid insisted on yakking over it. But thought it would be of interest here. This link is to the page rather than a specific episode. But currently it's the one at the top: Florida County Bans 20+ Jodi Picoult Books. Here's What She Thinks About That

School libraries are a place for knowledge, not propaganda. The less 'topical' literature gets there, the better.

Every singe book ever written is topical as they all have a topic.

This is a battle between the extremists. In one corner, we have a group that thinks it's OK to have a book with pictures of two guys having oral sex - in an elementary school library. In the other corner, we have a group that wants to ban a book because it contains a reference to a homosexual character.
Both of these groups are whackos. They feed off of each other. Trying to top each other in the "we can be more extreme than you" category. We'd be better off if neither group existed, and normal people with functional brains were calling the shots again. |

I don't remember hearing of anyone saying it belongs in an elementary school library. But I haven't read every article out there I'm sure. |
