Ah yes,

“We’re not asking for anything unreasonable,” says Lewis County Commissioner Sean Swope, who proposed the plan. “This is a tool to provide parents to be able to tell whether this is appropriate book for your child. I mean, that innocence, once it’s gone, it’s gone.”

This dude can get bent. I think it’s unreasonable that children were shot down the street from my kid’s school. What about that innocence? I had to explain to my daughter that people could come and hurt her in her school.

Meanwhile this same goon says:

Now, first-term commissioner Sean Swope has re-ignited the push, at the request of Sheriff Rob Snaza. While Commissioner Lindsey Pollock has thrown support behind a resolution acknowledging the importance of the whole constitution, Swope this week insisted that the first and second amendments need to be the focus.

So which is it Sean Swope? Tthe right to free speech (and information) or not? They’d prefer our kids get shot in schools than come across a book that might cause a difficult conversation later.

Agreed. If these people actually cared about the innocence of their children they wouldn’t be focusing on libraries.

I’d take an uncomfortable conversation with my daughter about a passage in a book over having to explain why parents aren’t allowed to come in to the school anymore during pickup.
