"A child's right to see a book on the shelves that represents them or their family is getting taken away." As Florida's Dept of Ed works to uniformly expand book bans to classroom libraries, I spoke with @FLFreedomRead about what's going on. https://t.co/rJOABUHmiL

As you may recall, a couple weeks back I wrote about how Florida lawmakers were removing textbooks from schools that had a decidedly political bent to them. Now the topic of general reading books was also brought up.
In her laughable Salon article (go Google how often that phrase has ever been used) Joyce was exposing how far-left public school unionized teachers were feeling "targeted" and "burnt out" from the experience (how sad). Activist Stephana Ferrell thinks its the worst thing ever that parents don't want their kids reading books designed to teach them that sodomite relationships are equivalent and normal (and for good reason).
But while Joyce and Ferrell blathered about how many white men wrote books (oh no!) and how some merely mentioned pillow biters (heavens), the theme of "books that represent them" sure came up a lot. Which, of course, is interesting because social conservatives never get to see positive examples of ourselves in media...despite the objective fact that we're better than leftists or even libertarians.
So which books say "Kevin's Mom and Dad wouldn't let their uncle Gary visit for Christmas anymore since he started sodomizing his junior high neighbour" with the same breathtakingly innocent pomp and ceremony that a "Heather Has Two Mommies" received?
