He wants to permaban me because I respond dismissively to his one-atom-deep political platitudes that he can't expand on, and because I'm not interested in this public forum being a little circle jerk club for ten guys who met online a decade ago and that's all it should ever be in any thread? That's fine, permaban me for not fitting into the cool kid's online gossip group. I'll recover and continue on with my life just fine. It's an Internet discussion forum. Not really serious business, eh? All of us are just random mutts yapping into the void, after all.
BeardOfKnowledge @BeardOfKnowledge has never reported you, despite your personal attacks. Please stop with the insults. I understand that he can be frustrating to argue with sometimes; just hit him with a drunk rating and go about your day.

Conservative group trying to ban 16 books from Polk Schools, calling them pornographic
Some of the books County Citizens Defending Freedom want to ban from Polk County Public Schools. They say the material is pornographic in nature.


Polk County Public Schools Regional Assistant Superintendent John Hill and several of his colleagues spent Tuesday morning going to area middle and high schools to gather 16 books out of media centers after County Citizens Defending Freedom, a conservative political group, complained to Superintendent Frederick Heid that the novels, graphic novels, autobiographies, and sex education books contain pornographic material harmful to children.

Heid sent an email Monday evening to middle and high school principals and media center librarians, stating that a “stakeholder group” is alleging that the books may be in violation of Florida Statute 847.012, which deals with distributing obscene or harmful materials to children.

"While it is not the role of my office to approve/evaluate instructional or resource materials at that level, I do have an obligation to review any allegation that a crime is being or has been committed,” Heid wrote in the email. “It is also my obligation to provide safeguards to protect our employees. The district will be taking the following steps to ensure that we address this issue honestly, fairly, and transparently.”
