New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH

Happy Saltmarsh Day to all who celebrate! (I do.)

Still no raids on meat packing plants or poultry processing plants in red states, huh?
