Now stop playing games here Kevin. Has a book ever been shoved in your face at a library? They aren't Wal-Mart - there are no greeters. And the YA section isn't for 8 year olds, so there is no danger of her getting it "shoved in her face" anyway.<br /><br />Have you read the book tho, other than Ginny's choice excerpts? I ask you again - you didn't answer me the first time I asked.<br /><br />So "ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN." are "mainstream", even tho Fox destroys CNN nightly and nobody under 35 has watched a network newscast in years. Drudge is without a doubt the most popular news site in the country. Maybe a case could be made 10 years ago that there was a "mainstream" media but not any more.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN.
I don..."mainstream"<br /><br />ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN.<br /><br />I don't disagree with your assesment of Journal Sentinel. Its pathetic these days. I'm thinking about canceling my subscription.<br /><br />I don't have a problem with reading "Perks of Being a Wallflower". The Kewaskum Library has a copy, but it is located and labeled away from the children's section.<br /><br />I have a problem (and my wife also does as well) with my 8 year old daughter reading it. My 8 year old puruses the children's section of Kewaskum Library very fast. I always review what she checks out, but I would have a problem with her picking up that book and reading it while I'm helping my 4 year old pick out a book.<br /><br />"Perks" is in the Kewaskum library, and not one constituent has complained its located away from children, and labeled for "mature audiences". <br /><br />"Perks" is a vigorously checked out item in Kewaskum. No one, including me, has ever called for it to be banned from being stocked in the library.<br /><br />The difference is: The Kewaskum librarian has common sense standard of what books are appropriate for children.<br /><br />The West Bend Library issue is about which books should be shoved in the face of children, not about banning books.<br /><br />I don't think "Perks" should be shoved in the face of children at a public library.<br /><br />If parents want to buy a copy, or go into the mature section and check it out from the library for their kids, fine, but its a family choice at that point.kevin scheunemannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-91814520216079324142009-11-08T23:22:08.289-06:002009-11-08T23:22:08.289-06:00Kevin,

It was not even on my radar 3 weeks before the event when permission was granted.<br /><br />It was not until I received hateful and intolerent phone calls AND LETTERS from leftists as far away as Milwaukee warning me against the small practice of democracy in my parking lot!<br /><br />It is the left that needs lessons in tolerance and diversity!<br /><br />I read the petition. The leftist activists that called me did not read the petition. These activists complained it was "anti-homosexual". I returned all written correspondence (letter and email)by handing out my cell phone # to discuss their concerns about petition. Not one of the activists, hateful of democracy, bothered to call. The petition did not call for book removal; just better locating and labeling policies for parents and children.<br /><br />These leftist activists did not want to discuss issues, they only wanted to intimidate and frighten.<br /><br />I DO NOT PUT UP WITH POLITICAL INTIMIDATION OF ANY SORT!<br /><br />When a group of small-minded leftist activists threaten such a well reasoned petition from local taxpayers on how their local library should run....that is liberal bigotry, & intolerance.<br /><br />Those words flow quite easily from my pen.kevin scheunemannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-53471671748990591612009-11-08T08:11:38.375-06:002009-11-08T08:11:38.375-06:00Kevin,

Just because they say they are the best doesn't mean they are. Maybe the rest of "mainstream" media isn't asking those questions because they aren't so reactionary? Why not try and branch out to something a little more unbiased like BBC or Znet? While they certainly have their flaws, Faux News is just making things up... which leads me to...<br /><br />"Given your reaction, religious worship of Obama is "OK" in public schools."<br /><br />No, given my reaction, I don't think that it was a form of religious worship. And it has nothing at all to do with religious freedom. Its just a fabricated controversy. <br /><br />This news story was done 7 MONTHS after the event took place. The lyrics were sent home before hand for the parents approval. It was fo black history month and presidents day and they also sang about George Washington. <br /><br />Wait a minute, why aren't you complaining about George Washington being worshiped? He seems to be more of a threat since there were a couple of statues built of him. That's idolatry right? America is violating the first commandment right there! Maybe you and Faux News should storm DC and trash everything from the Lincoln memorial to the Library of Congress.
