In FIFTH grade, a fellow student was showing our entire bus some porn he had on his phone. He&#39;d probably been nowhere near that book in his life, given he wasn&#39;t much for reading. Yet he still knew what this was. Word of mouth is stronger than you&#39;d think. And less accurate. At least these books provide real information and education. Better educated by books than a school filled with raging hormones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-62223335265944604172009-07-22T14:46:27.389-07:002009-07-22T14:46:27.389-07:00Anonymous #3 - If you haven&#39;t been to Ginny&#39;s blog, I say give it a go...it provides endless seconds of fascination that anyone could be so deluded and self-aggrandizing.

Kids need accurate and readily-accessible information regarding sex is so short-sighted and naive. <br /><br />The fact there is fiction which occasionally represents sexual situations for the YA audience is not inappropriate for many kids - and far tamer than the blow job parties and other sexual behavior some kids are either exposed to or have experienced already. Teenagers are sexual beings from puberty on and to deny that fact or think they aren&#39;t doing something or aren&#39;t thinking about it an awfully lot is just stupid.<br /><br />Even Christian kids get pregnant - Christian kids who have parents who rail against teen pregnancy and abortion - i.e. the Palin family. Can&#39;t tell me that kid hadn&#39;t heard that she shouldn&#39;t be sexually active. Perhaps if her parents had more realistic expectations, they&#39;d have taken her to Planned Parenthood for birth control or they would have known that she was sexually active. And, they didn&#39;t decide to go out and have sex because of a book, they went out and had sex because their hormones are in overdrive or want to please and not lose their boyfriend.<br /><br />Hiding your head in the sand is not the answer. <br /><br />And, if you think YOUR child is too young for those materials, then MONITOR YOUR child and leave mine alone to do what I DEEM appropriate for said child.<br /><br />And, she WAS complaining that GLBT books existed in the library. By moving them, they become unaccessible. That questioning kids is not going to go to the desk and call him or herself out by asking for the information. You&#39;re an idiot.Hahn at Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17340392061207298502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-54413981483783648122009-07-22T14:29:09.945-07:002009-07-22T14:29:09.945-07:00I whish these right wing scumbags would just keep their biggoted views to themselves. If there are books, tv shows or other material that offends their delicate sensibalities then they need to avoid such material. Personally I find churchs offensive but I&#39;m not clammoring that every church needs to be burned to the ground; i simply ignore them. <br />why can&#39;t these people practice what they preach? What would jesus do? I believe that jusus would do the christian thing: turn the other cheek and forgive not burn books and impose their beliefs on others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-52422907321914623532009-06-14T19:16:41.906-07:002009-06-14T19:16:41.906-07:00Anon #2 (or Ginny from West Bend) -<br /><br />&quot;This is rediculous and if you think Ginny is a &quot;unrepentant sinner&quot; Look at yourselves!&quot; Um, have you looked in the mirror of late?

Matter of fact, I think they should already know about it by that age. I'd already started my period before then, should I have not known what it meant about my body before it happened, and what the consequences of that would be? The physical changes for many girls have long since started before the 6th grade, and for them to not know why, and what it means for them, is not just ridiculous, it's cruel.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05702238763666965679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-7833948119784485532009-05-07T14:15:00.000-07:002009-05-07T14:15:00.000-07:00Anonymous: (or should I say "Ginny")<br /><br />Whose job is it to monitor what children read? Yours? Because I frankly don't want you to influence my kids in any way, shape or form. You can feed your own kids a steady diet of hatred, false religion, intolerance and fear. Let the rest of us parents choose our own values to instill.<br /><br />If you are going to move those books to the adult section, move the Bible, too. It contains stories of "righteous" men who were murderers, adulterers, men who comitted incest and men who offered their daughters up to rape gangs to spare the stranger passing through town the same fate. It also deals with beastiality, adultery, many sexual situations and murder like nobody's business.Sinnerviewerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03781610281916489316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-68640555318768405232009-05-07T07:43:00.000-07:002009-05-07T07:43:00.000-07:00You guys do not know what you are talking about. She is not complaining that such books exist in the library. She is complaining about what section they are in. I looked at her blog and one of the books, and I was saddened to see what was in the books and to know that 6th graders could check out these books. One page really stuck out to me:<br />There was a cartoon girl spread eagle (legs spread wide) with something little covering her vagina and there was a little talking bubble saying "Hello, my name is..."<br /><br />Is this really what we want our 6th graders seeing? This is rediculous and if you think Ginny is a "unrepentant sinner" Look at yourselves! She is only trying to protect the youth of our nation, unlike all of you because it seems as though you think it is okay for 6th graders to learn about sex and have sex and get pregnant because they don't know what they are doing...think about it.

She has gone after the high schools for supporting LGBT students, she's gone after the school board for following state administrative code and including sexual orientation as a protected class in its harassment policy, and she's gone after gay individuals in the community. Scientific research clearly shows that people like that thang Ms. Maziarka has some deep-seated issues her self. God forbid she has a gay child - living in that house as a gay teen would be sad and could lead to suicide. She's going to be surprised when she gets to the pearly gates and finds out that her God is a woman who's black and lesbian!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-82896745060824717722009-03-14T12:37:00.000-07:002009-03-14T12:37:00.000-07:00On behalf of that little dog in the illustration accompanying this article, I would like to register his objection to being compared to Gargantuan Ginny of the Cesspool.<BR/><BR/>~BeckyBecky C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06415067599794969890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-74771026807961135772009-03-14T08:31:00.000-07:002009-03-14T08:31:00.000-07:00Actions speak louder than words.<BR/><BR/>Her words are "I'm not for censorship!" yet she consors her blog of comments unless they support her viewpoints.<BR/><BR/>She says "I am just asking for balance" yet she won't include others viewpoint on her blog, making it very one-sided.<BR/><BR/>When your actions support a one-sided viewpoint, don't be surprised when people are skeptical that you might not really be balanced when it comes to things that affect them.<BR/><BR/>She is for censorship and her blog reflects that.
