Opposed
 

This bill is taking us bad in time.  Parents can choose to opt their child out. But then doesn’t that also create a continuum of intolerance and ignorance.  Children need to be open to different views for our society to be kinder and understanding.  By banning books teens will seek out the material without the ability to discuss what they have read in secret.  Teachable moments people!
