You may burn the books of the best minds, but the ideas those books contain have passed through millions of channels and will go on.

Children deserve knowledge and perspectives. Taking away that opportunity only disables him further. Glad to hear they are being successful in not allowing these prudish and regressive book bans.

Come on Minnesota,, you are better than that.

[@megsley]

the books aren't banned - you are still free to purchase them from booksellers.

Why do all of these Weirdos want unregulated access to children in schools, and want to limit the actual imput that the parents who are tax payers have to say about thier children.

It's still an attempt.
