A Florida Mom wants to ban these books because she quote

"My kids are going to school to learn, not to become a homosexual or an abortion doctor or an atheist,"

I for one believe thats ignorant of her trying to brainwash her children into what she wants, not letting them make their own decisions.......Discuss

Well, I'm not sure what there is discuss...anybody who doesn't find this completely idiotic should get checked out. Really, I can't believe people actually pull this kind of trash...I'd love to see her get shot down by the school board.

Disgusting. Book censorship is wrong, especially for something as moronic as the mere mention of atheism or abortion.

How about, instead of calling to ban these books, the mother, say, PARENTS her children, to prevent them from becoming "homosexuals or abortion doctors".

Forcing "God" on students is by no means "politically correct". :| If "God" was ever mentioned in my classes, I would walk my ass straight to the door.:|

AFlorida Mom wants toban these books because she quote

"My kids are going to school to learn, not to become a homosexual or an abortion doctor or an atheist,"

I for one believe thatsignorant of her trying tobrainwash herchildren into what she wants, not letting them make their own decisions.......Discuss

ConManWithGun

These words somehow remind me of Jack Thompson, especially since he's anignorant Florida attorney who trys tobrainwash children by trying toban video games, since parents can't seem to make their own decisions about what children doand Discussing to them about it. I'm sorry if this is way out of topic, but they seem really similar in their own way

She should go protest at the closest movie theater. Harry Potter is corrupting our emo/goth youth and giving them fantasies about dark magic.

Actually, you don't have the right to choose if your kids are Atheist or not, Atheism isn't a choice, it's a belief that someone has, personally, I don't like being an Atheist, but it's my unfortunate belief that I have to deal with, also, as for homosexuality, she can't decide that either. Since it's not a decision.

Because she apparently doesn't want her children to become outcasts or something. She doesn't want them to think for themselves. She's afraid the world may "hurt them" so to speak. Guess what lady, they'll have to leave the house and live their life someday :|

I agree, religious belief is based on individuality. No one can choose for you, not your parents, not your friends, nobody. only you. same goes for being gay being gay isn't exactly a choice (it's a sexual preference that cannot be controlled) so she can't control that either.

Control freak of a mum, she needs to be switched off for a while. We don't need bigots like that in our world where we have our own choices to be made.

Another case of soccer moms gone wild...Yeesh, what a control freak. Still, I loved this part:

Even within her own home, reaction is split.

"My oldest son doesn't believe in God," she said. "I guess he kind of thinks I'm stupid."

"Lopez admits she hasn't read a single one of the objectionable books cover-to-cover."

I think that's actually the worst bit. She doesn't actually know what she's complaining about, she's just concerned that they might be a bad influence....

*sighs*

Some people make me sad.

But I guess that you alredy know my answer, she's another dumb extremist...
