To Commenter

To Commenter "Christine": You failed to realize this isn't a book that was required. Did you even listen to the clip?? It was an OPTION and they didn't exercise that option. The parents bought the book and let their child read it for over a week before they objected. The child communicated to his classmates he liked the book (despite what he says in the clip) and THEN the parents do not just exercise their option to have an alternate book- they insist that NO ONE can read the book in the entire county. They say they couldn't reach an "agreement" with the principal and the teacher, yet they were offered options, but refused. So what was the understanding they wanted? In the clip they say they don't want the book banned right after it is explained they are going through the process with the school to have it banned. Can we get a straight story here WWAY? The one presented here is not clear nor accurate. This book does not have the things accused of in it, yet WWAY states whatever these parents claim as fact. It is untrue and dangerous to state such things. This is a clear case of irresponsible journalism. Shame on this reporter and shame on these parents!
