Dad, You're Embarassing Me!

by Joe?Pulcinella

Just got this from Digg.com:

A Bentonville, Ark., man is seeking $20,000 from the city after his two teenage sons found a book on lesbian sex on a public library bookshelf.

He also wants the library director fired.

Earl Adams said his 14- and 16-year-old sons were "greatly disturbed" after finding the book, titled "The Whole Lesbian Sex Book." Adams said the book caused "many sleepless nights in our house."

Adams said the book is "patently offensive and lacks any artistic, literary or scientific value," according to a letter he faxed to Mayor Bob McCaslin. He said the teenagers found it while browsing for material on military academies.

I'm pretty sure I'd be more upset if I knew my sons were seriously looking into military academies.

LOL, I'm with you there, if my boy expresses an interest in the military I'm going to send him to a shrink!

I think that the bigger issue here is that Lesbianism is a lifestyle choice, just as much as a religion is. You wouldn't expect the library not to have books on Catholocism or Judaism. Just because it is not YOUR lifestyle of choice doesn't mean that you should be able to keep the library from carrying books on the subject.
