[QUOTE="klmno, post: 308998, member: 3699"] After reading Witz's response, if the books are about religous controversies, I think there is NO WAY to keep everything off the shelves that could possibly offend people of any religion. Parents have a right to teach their preferred religion to their kids, but they also need to teach the kid why certain things are important in that particular religion and why they prefer the child not to do certain things, or read certain books or whatever if it's that important to them. But they don't have a right to expect these things to "disappear", in my humble opinion. The child has to grow up and ultimately choose for themselves anyway. If they are in public school they should be exposed to multi-cultural things. [/QUOTE]
