Idaho Resident: Remove Sexually Graphic Books from Children's View
I really don't see the problem with this. The Idaho residents aren't asking the library to remove the books from circulation, only to remove them so that children cannot see them. Doesn't seem like a big request, but then again, we are dealing with liberal librarians.
(AgapePress) - Parents in an Idaho city want their local public library to remove from the shelves several books containing graphic images of heterosexual and homosexual sex and place them out of the eyesight of children. At question are nine books in the non-fiction section of the Nampa Public Library, including titles such as The New Joy of Sex, The Joy of Sex Toys, and The Joy of Gay Sex. Nampa resident Randy Jackson filled out a complaint form at the library and even addressed the library's board of directors in January, but the board said the books would remain so that the needs of the whole community would be represented. Jackson, who recently brought his concerns before the Nampa City Council, says parents are especially horrified with the book The Joy of Gay Sex. "There's a chapter entitled 'Daddy-Son Sexual Fantasies' where it talks about two people having sex while pretending that they're father and son," the local resident explains. Another chapter in the book that he finds disturbing teaches teens how to surf the internet for homosexual sex -- and then cover their tracks. "They have a chapter entitled 'Teenagers,'" he continues. "It explains to teenagers how they can go into online chat rooms on the Internet and how to meet people for sex in online chat rooms. It encourages them to learn to [delete] their web browser history so their parents won't be able to find out where they've been to on the Internet." Jackson says the presence of the sexually explicit books is even more troubling given the recent rash of child enticement cases in the western Idaho community. He adds that a city council member plans to meet with the library board in June in hopes of resolving the issue of the books' accessibility to children.
Now what really bothers me is that the book is not only passing off the gay lifestyle as normal and good, but also teaching teens how to be liars and deceivers against their parents. Somehow this is supposed to be considered normal and good? I have a feeling that even non-religious parents will have a problem with this.

This is not a religion issue or a sexual orientation issue - it is an issue of moral standards. I dont believe that even homosexual parents want their children learning new ways to lie to them.
After watching the Dateline Specials called "To Catch a Predator", I cant imagine that ANY parent (no matter how liberal) would want their children to be encouarged when it comes to internet porn sites.
As far as the father/son fantasy thing - does it get any more Sodom and Gomorrah than that? What kind of sicko fantasizes about sex with their own father? Oh, Lord Jesus, please some soon!!!!
Hi Beth!
I had the same thought about the sexual predators and I guess if people are willing to accept that being taught to lie to parents is acceptable then our society is finished.
I know it's only one book, but that series has been considered by most to be informational, not pornographic. In other words, it had some authority on the subject of sex. Now, I fear, people not knowing any better will read the homosexual version and go down that path even further.
Yes, Beth, our society is sex crazed, and if it wasn't for the religious conservatives, this nation would have fallen into moral bankruptcy years ago, with a "anything goes" mentality.
Truly, it seems that Jesus cannot delay His return much longer.
Seems the wheat and tares just don't mix well, like iron and clay in Daniel's idol. Time to separate from this kind of exposure to our children, let the wheat be cut down, and carried to the safe keeping of the barn, where it can be replanted in a field without tares, without the enemy who sowed the tares.
