Father’s Microphone CUT OFF – School Tries to Silence Him!
(FeaturedNews.com) – Irony was fully on display at the June 30 Clay County School District board meeting. Local parent and President of the Florida chapter of No Left Turn in Education Bruce Friedman was there to object to materials in the district’s libraries that he considered obscene. As he was about to read a selection from the material, the board stopped him, declaring the book pornography.
Friedman continued talking, and school board members cut his microphone after he warned attendees that what he was about to read was unsuitable for young children. They also reacted aggressively when he asked why they silenced him. The members stated the meeting was on a live broadcast, and children could be watching. They said reading the material would be illegal, and his warning wasn’t adequate.
UNREAL. A dad says he’s gonna read from graphic books available to children in school and gets shut down by @oneclayschools board before he even starts because it might be against the law to read from these books in front of children.

One of the books the father sought to expose gives a graphic account of a sexual assault on a college girl, titled Lucky by Alice Sebold. Friedman noted that the content is vile enough that even the school board found it offensive. He said he would continue to push to remove such filth that has “no literary value.”
What do you think about Friedman’s approach to addressing the issue? Was his public reaction too extreme?
