On Wed,March 22, there will be a hearing in Essex County Court in Massachusetts, which could result in the banning of a book by Fathers rights(Pro-Family) activist, Kevin Thompson.
Kevin Thompson has been fighting a long and lonely battle in the Essex Probate and Family Court to try to be able to be a father to his son.
Several months ago, the court impounded the records of the trial and Judge DeGangi has recently granted a restraining order forbidding Kevin from distributing his book, EXPOSING THE CORRUPTION IN THE MASSACHUSETTS FAMILY COURTS.

It's about a Puerto Rican U.S. Army Veteran with numberous awards in saving lives is prevented to be a father.
Is this "Banned In Boston" all over again?
Uhhhh.... First Amendment... !?!
Let's not get hysterical here... the book's publication has been hit with a restraining order.. Does he speak in his book of an ongoing legal proceeding involving a child? If so, then that falls under a lot of child privacy laws, and the judge has all the authority to hold off the publication... I'd hardly call it a "book ban."
I'll distribute it. I'll buy copies from him and give them away.
FATHER'S SONG:
Trying to catch this phenomenon
Is like trying to capture a flame
Everyone wants to save the world
But no one will take the blame
And when will we learn
The end result of our negligence
Somethings wrong; its not quite right
We have misplaced common sense
Excuse me
But has anyone seen everyones dad?
Chorus
Cause a boy is the only thing
That God can use to make a man
And a boy is the only thing
That God can use to make a man
Point the finger at education
And we curse the silver screen
The prison system regurgitates
And we wonder what does this mean
And boys will be boys
But not without a man called dad
Somethings wrong; the boy moves on
To try to live a life that hes never had
To try to live that hell never have
Look around the family is a dying breed
And broken homes become majority
And the future is always born from example
So where are the men that God gave the responsibility to lead
JONAH 33
Massachusetts. That explains it, nothing further needs to be said. Same sentence with Berlin, Moscow, Baghdad.
bump for later
We're not getting the whole story here.

Meanwhile, Kevin Weeks writes a book about the crimes he committed with Whitey Bulger.
Massachusetts banning a book? This I gotta see. HUGE SCOTUS bitch-slap coming.
Liberalism: Only intolerant viewpoints shall be tolerated - in the name of diversity
I thought there was a Federal rule against prior restraint, as in the NY Times vs the United States, 1971.
I will try to get a update as soon as I can to you all.

"We're not getting the whole story here."
It is Massachusetts. We might be.
You're probably exactly right. I'll bet there's a LOT more going on here.
