[QUOTE="witzend, post: 309028, member: 99"] I looked at the site, and I get it. Why didn't they give the parents a heads' up, though? I would be all up in their face if I thought a public school or public library was banning books. They didn't even send a note home or some sort of schoolwork to be companion to this? How bizarre! I remember several years ago I had gotten on some sort of list that had to do with that "Dove" program to make girls feel better about themselves. I like the idea. Girls shouldn't think that they have to look like a photoshopped model to feel good about themselves. Anyway, it was really in it's infancy, and I got a call from someone who seemed like a grass roots movement poll. This sweet sweet woman asked me if I was upset by television programs and should programs that are rated above PG-13 be banned to protect our children? I told her "no". She was genuinely shocked! "Really?" I told her if she didn't like adult things on tv, then she shouldn't watch it and she should make sure her kids didn't watch it either. For crying out loud, why should I deprive myself of the programs I like because some dimwit can't figure out how to use the V-chip on their tv? The soapbox is now available... [/QUOTE]
