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.

Photoshop the same obscene excerpts and school board names onto a photo of the school and distribute it everywhere, both hard copy and digital. Put it on T-Shirts too.
Don’t you just love the modern media with it’s shoddy reporters who don’t even bother to tell you where something happened. I run into this all the time. These are the kind of journalists the modern education system turns out.
I once heard a story about a town board that decided people couldn’t park their RVs in their own driveways. They had to be in the backyard behind a fence. They decided a $500 fine would be issued. They hired an RV ticket writer who wrote the tickets. After the tickets arrived, all the council members who voted for that law, had cinder blocks crash through their car windshields. The next week, the tickets were cancelled and the law rescinded.
Maybe school board members could learn from that.
The libtards are convicting themselves!
Irony with a large helping of hypocrisy.
Your comment at post 11 is spot on!
I just tried to research that book, but all search results exposing that graphic sex story are purged from search results. Only glowing reviews are returned.
If you used Google, good chance it was scrubbed.
I use Brave. The results were definitely scrubbed. The groomers want to keep their grooming secret.
“I use Brave. The results were definitely scrubbed.”
Were you able to get good results via Brave?
I have used Dissenter (by Gab) for a long time and wanted to download it to one of my laptops. It isn’t available for download any more. (Comments say it was “abandoned” by Gab. I don’t know.)
In any case, I downloaded Brave and it appears to be a twin to Dissenter when it comes to format.
Brave gives scrubbed results. It’s really no better than any other search engine. Previously I used DuckDuckGo, but they scrub their results, too. Anyone know of a clean search site that doesn’t filter results?
I guess there’s no good browser.
I did know that DDG tapped in to Google for their queries so stopped using that a couple years ago.
I noticed Brave is just like DDG. I agree with you, there is no good search engine. They are all ruled by globalist algorithms.
