There’s a difference between what a movie is about and the premise of the movie.

If a person’s boss does stupid shit like this, they are the ones that need to lose their jobs. What happened to “just ask what she needs and how you can help”?

oh I Derped and didnt see the caption (thought it was start of another paragraph) Yeah for the show damien, okay im fine with that i get it now.

You can add lemon zest to it as well for lemon mint sugar. It’s very good in iced tea or sugar cookies.

No. They are asking that these books not be taught at this college. It’s not high school either. It’s college. These people are ostensibly adults and can actually choose the courses that they want. This is book banning 101.

It was shocking, I didn’t expect to open the book and see that graphic material within. I expected Batman and Robin, not pornography.

It was shocking....

I might agree with you in theory if this was a high school class. But it is not. It is a college course that she enrolled in and paid for. As a college student, you have input on what the curriculum should be by choosing which courses you do or do not sign up for.

The graphic novels in question, Persepolis, Fun Home, Y: The Last Man Vol. 1, and The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll’s House, are four of the ten graphic novels included in the course’s curriculum, and Shultz has complained about the nudity, sex, violence and torture contained in them.

“The parents have also complained that the books are available in the school’s bookstore. “It was shocking,” FFS, if the books are required reading for the class it would be shocking if they weren’t made available in the bookstore. Did this little snowflake not thumb through the books when purchased at the start of…

“I don’t want anyone else to have to read this garbage.”

Initially I was going to play Devils advocate on this one, as I wondered whether other graphic novels could have achieved what the course objectives were. But then I looked at the Redlands Daily Facts Newspaper article and saw this:

Does this mean she wants things like The Iliad banned too? I mean, it does contain graphic violence, rape and at least one highly suggestive male/male friendship.

I’m sorry, but from what I read this is a student at a college. Unless they’re still in high school doing dual-enrollment or something like that, they lost all credibility when their parents got involved.

They seem to be your typical gun loving, freedom celebrating, and deeply religious family.

“I don’t want them taught anymore. I don’t want anyone else to have to read this garbage.”

(This is an abbreviated version of my comments to an O-Deck post that preceded this one.)

This is in college??! I teach high school and maybe these would be and issue... but college... Isn’t the point to study things you would not normally have ‘picked up’, and perhaps confront the things to make you uncomfortable? You don’t have to like it. You do have to study it. STFU and do your work.

I like Elementary and I won't apologize for it. Anyone who has a problem with something as innocuous as a television show, that brings another person happiness, is kind of a mean spirited person.

I'm going to come out and say it: I like Elementary better than BBC's Sherlock. I really liked the 1st series of Sherlock, but the 2nd series was just too deus ex machina-y for my tastes. The resolutions were just too ridiculously neat and tidy. And the character became inhuman. I love me my Cumberbatch and Bilbo, but…
