It's not "Book Banning"

Every single interviewee backtracks after seeing it. 

You have to see it to understand it.

NC17 movies aren't shown in schools, so why are NC17 books allowed?

 

These images are so explicitly graphic that Facebook banned them (and me), yet too many schools provide them to our children.  


Below is a map showing book locations, rated 5/5 from around the nation.

If asbestos were found in our children's classrooms the schools wouldn't wait for their next committee meeting or another policy about building maintenance to be approved.  They would immediately take action to safeguard the health of our children.  NC17 movies aren't shown in schools, so why are NC17 books allowed? These images are so explicitly graphic that Facebook has banned them (and me), yet our schools continue to let them sit for children to check out.  All of the below images and text are in books in a multitude of schools in Utah.  To be part of the solution see our lists and tutorials at Utah Parents Unitedhttps://www.utahparentsunited.org/laverna.html  Sign up with us today!

 

Also, consider joining our Facebook pages where we bring parental awareness to books so they can guide their children how they see fit.  Those Facebook pages are Laverna in the Library and Mary in the Library USA.
