I actually do live in the WNEP viewing area (albeit far west of where this is actually happening) and I heard this story on the news the other night as I was making dinner. I could not (and cannot still) believe that parents are making a big deal about this. It is truly an outrage.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997765277530350045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015861203212804796.post-66298713372001288262011-05-01T23:22:58.980+08:002011-05-01T23:22:58.980+08:00Leeswammes - Thanks for the support and comment.

I felt a bit nervous sticking my neck out but have been pleasantly surprised :) I've just posted an update - the outpouring of support has made the journo reconsider... Yay!<br /><br />S.Leighanne - I'm so glad you brought this to my attention! Thanks :)<br /><br />Suzan - You're welcome. I was glad to have the chance to write it. It's so worrying when people have this extreme view about the printed word. You'd think they'd found someone selling porn in the playground...<br /><br />Lunar - Cheers :)Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16731173186767835989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015861203212804796.post-85553472217264360122011-04-29T22:55:20.528+08:002011-04-29T22:55:20.528+08:00Totally with you on this.Totally with you on this.Lunar Hinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12649116426473034929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015861203212804796.post-23693191395478427412011-04-29T03:13:55.966+08:002011-04-29T03:13:55.966+08:00Thanks for saying this, Kathmeista!

Even though she wrote historical romance while she taught in the public schools, she was terrified a parent would find out and complain.<br /><br />It's a very sad state my country has stooped to. It makes me ashamed.Suzan Hardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600258874634909988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015861203212804796.post-29535165920543812492011-04-28T23:46:36.300+08:002011-04-28T23:46:36.300+08:00Yes!
