The Republican position on the educational system can be summed up thusly: "Guns in schools are not only fine, they should be required. Books that IN ANY WAY mention sexuality and/or profanity, no way!"

His history reveals that his decision was made because it was a book about minorities; he did not care about the language. (Mr. Reeves didn’t either & was simply trying to wield power).

Any parent can launch a complaint & kick off the absolutely nonsense process of immediate removal by a single decision. Time for liberal parents to play the same game & complain about all of the books we have in schools that honor & praise slave owners (oops, presidents) & other things that might make minority children “uncomfortable.”

**The fact that Nolte dared note picking cotton was about INCOME for his family & not race, is shockingly stupid as the difference is there was neither INCOME nor CHOICE provided to slaves who were forced to pick cotton or black sharecroppers who were robbed of the wages they were promised for picking cotton. Idiot.
