[@kawikajones9436]

Title is misleading. A book ban is when you ban ALL of one or more particular book from being sold. This is NOT a book ban. This is removing/restricting certain inappropriate books for minors in state (taxpayer funded) school libraries. Anybody can still go and buy any of these books either in a book store or online and they will be fine.

[@truth4004]

The bible should be banned also. Not suitable for children.

@@keylightsystems for children? It's a no brainer. Going to the movies restricts children from watching anything without being accompanied by an adult when watching a "PG" rated movie.

[@kawikajones9436]

@@truth4004 man wrote the bible 50 years after the death of Jesus and the Church decided which books to include based on their beliefs. There was no such thing as an immaculate conception. Mary was Jesus wife, not his mother as attested to one of the recently found books(scrolls) from the lost sea scrolls. You can also see that the books were placed into the bible without cross referencing them as there are many conflicts with the books that contradict each other.
