How can parents opt-out for their kids regarding certain types of library books if the Destiny Marc Report (online summary) doesn't share the information? A Look at Three Elementary Books found in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties: "Sharice's Big Voice"; "The Terrible Thing that Happened to Barnaby Brocket"; "Children Just Like Me" -- (all 3 books with LGBTQ aspects).
Check out the latest books found in Escambia County, FL and Santa Rosa County, FL high school libraries: "The Thorn Birds," by C. McCullough and "Capturing the Devil," by K. Maniscalco. Both contain inappropriate content, including entire sex acts, leading to "waves of rapture." Written reports are available under home page.
Some of our librarians and/or district media specialists are advertising these sorts of books through Destiny information, making these available for minors. It is staring readers in the face. All three of these books are currently in our schools in Escambia. ("Lady Chatterley's Lover," "Smash It!," and "Kafka on the Shore." ) All three books are extremely sexually explicit, and the third one you had voted to remove, but apparently some AP teachers, librarians and/or district media specialist decided this book (as well as others) needed to be available to minors, and this has been returned with parental permission for check-out. I also talk about the latest Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Decision in Iowa regarding public school library books for children! Another win for common decency.
