Pat Bradford, current board member backs it up in the recent WECT candidate forum. This board has worked on common sense solutions for parents. Read the transcripts. 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗔𝗧 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗗: "Why do you believe it is appropriate to limit book access based on one parent's complaint?" 𝗣𝗔𝗧 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗗: I think  that the parent has the right to say and govern their child's education and I want to address the bigger issue behind that which is that in four years our board has dealt with one book challenge. We have this label that's thrown around and I hate labels that says it's a book banning board. One book challenge to our board in four years. That does not make for a book banning board. But if a book is age inappropriate, um sexually explicit, then I don't want it in our schools for our education. Our libraries are different. Now, that book, that one book, it stayed in the library. It's there now. You want to go check it out, you can. It was in the classroom that we dealt with one book in four years. And so libraries and classrooms are different. But I do think that if a parent has a challenge, they should have the right to make the challenge. Right now, we're in the process of in fact, we voted we voted last last night to um put in place our policy that is agreeing with what the state has said that we need to do in that area. and there'll be a committee and ultimately it will be overseen by the superintendent and we look forward to seeing how that works or if there's any bugs or things that have to be corrected but I believe that that system is working and it will continue to work.
