Sense or Censorhip?
The Mainstream Education Foundation is hosting a public forum to discuss books being taught in Blue Valley high schools. The forum will be held on Thursday, February 24th, from 7:00 to 9:00pm at the Jewish Community Campus located at 5801 West 115th Street, just west of Nall and North of the Sprint Campus.
Some parents feel that some of the books currently used are inappropriate, due to language and content. Other parents feel the books in question are literature.
Come to this forum to hear all sides of the issue, and voice your own concerns. A panel of parents and experts will explain the issue, from both sides, then answer questions. Check back at Red State Rabble later for a list of speakers.
The public is invited. The moderator will be Laura Ziegler of KCUR 89.3 radio.
Co-Sponsors include: Jewish Community Relations Bureau/American Jewish Committee, Kansas Families United for Public Education, Johnson County League of Women Voters, Olathe Branch NAACP, Shawnee Mission American Association of University Women
