A Clay County parent’s dispute with his school board has gotten national attention after he had his microphone turned off while attempting to read a passage out of a book from the Fleming Island High School library, which he considered “pornographic.”
Bruce Friedman is part of a national group called No Left Turn, which keeps a list of books parents have objected to across the country.
He found at least three examples in Clay County Schools he wanted pulled from library shelves, including one book at the Fleming Island High School library, “Lucky” by Alice Sebold.
The book’s description on Amazon characterizes it as a memoir of the author, who was brutally raped at 18 and chronicles her recovery.
Bruce Friedman sees it very differently.
“I don’t know a good parent that wants their child to read porn,” said Friedman.
Friedman took his concerns to the June 30 meeting of the Clay County School Board.
When he attempted to read an excerpt from the book, he was cut off.
“Turn off his microphone please,” said one of the members at the meeting not shown on camera.
The explanation he was given was, “There’s state laws that prohibit, and federal communications laws that prohibit you from publishing these things to a child,” said the person on the microphone.
In a statement provided by a district spokesperson, a similar explanation was given for cutting off Friedman’s microphone.
“When addressing the board, since our meetings are televised, we must abide by FCC laws and regulations,” said the spokesperson.
“Ironic, isn’t it?” said Friedman.

Libtard porn that’s suitable for kids but not adults 🤪
Nextdoor County to me....fairly conservative with a large military base nearby...I doubt this is over.
Clay County in which state? There is a Clay County here in Kentucky; is that the place?
In the 1990’s the public schools had a movement going to promulgate pornography to 14-15 year old high school English students.
Looks like it’s back.
It’s north Florida just outside Jacksonville.
Read Juliet Takes A Breath. It is in many libraries and so obscene and pornographic I would be embarrassed reading it to my spouse.
““When addressing the board, since our meetings are televised, we must abide by FCC laws and regulations,” said the spokesperson”
This makes about as much sense as the gun free zone idiocy.....NONE
Florida. North east near Jacksonvile, very conservative area.
I do the book was not intended as porn, but it still might not belong in a high school. I am the kid whose mother signed a note allowing me to read Leon Uris in 6th grade, so I take a broad view. Have books, require parental permission.
The author was raped by a stranger and misidentified a man as the culprit. He was found guilty and spent 16 years in jail. He is black, the author white, so it’s surprising she hasn’t been cancelled.
Shut 'em down
FIND a way to TRULY educate your kids and empty the public school system, AKA Government Indoctrination Centers.
So clever these progs, soooo clever!
No one has EVER thought of that before.
.
To be more precise, the conviction was overturned because of problems with the identification and hair analysis. Sebold has apologized to the convicted man.
The left would go to school board members homes and read the book passages through a bullhorn. .. late at night, early in the morning, during dinner, when they go to restaurants.
We need to step it up.
Groomers gotta groom.

Libtard education for kids is so offensive and disgusting it’s against the law to air it publicly 🤪
