Link to original bill: http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2021-22%20INT/SB/SB1142%20INT.PDF

Am I correct in interpreting this as if ONE parent nominates a book for removal and the book isn't removed within 30 days, there will be a 10K fine? I don't support books with age-inappropriate sexual content in schools, but it seems that this could set a nasty precedent for other books that ONE parent wants removed from a school.

Opinions?

I hear what you are saying on the slippery slope. However, the article was pretty clear that it was books that had anything to do with sex. I can get behind that bill. On the slippery slope, if in the future some retards wanted to ban something outside of sex relations, they would have to put it up for a vote likely through legislation. The everyday normal folk would shut it down. The everyday normal folk pretty much universally agree that they don't want government institutions teaching their kids about sex.

I suppose you're right. What do you think about the one parent requirement?

I think it is just giving anyone the opportunity to point out sexual references in their children's reading material. If the bill explicitly says "no sexual references in kids education," I feel that is pretty black and white. I don't think people can take advantage of that... easily.
