The Legislature will be considering an anti-obscenity bill which applies specifically to school libraries.
...The legislation looks to overturn a current law that provides protection for employees of public, private, and tribal schools from prosecution of an obscene materials violation.
"This is about making sure that the administrative officials in each school district are being prudent in the selection of materials," said the author of the bill State Rep. Scott Allen, Waukesha (R). "What this bill does is it says just because you happen to work for a school system does not make you immune from the liability of handing obscene materials to minors."...
Totes reasonable.
But there's an (apparently) obscenity-loving Mommy out there....
...Ann Zielke, the mother of a soon-to-be 6th grader in the Muskego-Norway school district, is concerned the legislation could lead to widespread book bans across Wisconsin.
"I have concerns about kids who are going to be afraid and ashamed that that's me in the book that you're banning. You are saying it's not okay to be me. It's obscene to be me. And that has such a profound effect on kids," Zielke said. "You get to pick what's best for your kid. you don't get to choose what my child reads."...
Let us help you, Ann.
