>> It was much busier than usual on a recent Friday at a Ben & Jerry's in Melbourne, Fla. But it wasn't the Cherry Garcia and Chunky Monkey drawing the extra customers. A crowd gathered in the back corner of the store, browsing through newly installed, rainbow-colored shelves displaying multiple copies of some 65 books currently banned from various Florida schools. It was opening night for the shop's "Banned Book Nook," and customers with ice cream cones in one hand helped themselves to novels, memoirs and biographies with the other. "This is my favorite series ever," exclaimed one young woman browsing the titles. About 150 books were lent out that first night. The book nook was set up by Florida teacher Adam Tritt and Foundation 451, a group he launched last year after he was ordered to remove banned books from his classroom in nearby Palm Bay....<< ------------------------- "One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power."

Freedom needs to be protected. Do they really think normal people will just roll over to the insanity? Of course not.

Freedom needs to be protected. Then why exactly do you do literally whatever you can to end it? ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |

So, what you are saying is that the books aren't banned at all? If the books were banned then this person wouldn't be allowed to have them. Good for him. There needs to be a place where people can go to enjoy a cone of ice cream while looking at illustrations of dudes blowing each other. Glad we know where that is, so I know not to take my kids there.

So, you'll just go there alone, I guess. Just come out of the closet already, your kids will accept you more than you accept those "others." ------------------------- GOP: Gaslight Obstruct Project |

Obviously, the books are not banned.

1984 Sulwe Me and White Supremacy Oh the horror! Put your money where your mouth is. Go buy a couple hundred copies of each, stand outside of an elementary school, and give them away. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

You won't find Playboy magazine in school. Does that mean we add it to the "banned books" list? Also, I never claimed to be a lawyer. I just said that JohnnyBoy is in the wrong profession, unless he is one of those state employed lawyers, because he really sucks at being curious and drawing logical conclusions. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

Also, the left is guilty of this too. I don't think Huck Finn or To Kill a Mockingbird ever caused a lot of anguish.

If you are caught with one of these books in a Florida school, you can be charged with a felony and have your teaching certificate revoked.
