Classroom obscenity bill meets its end

Good for the House Education Committee for shelving a Senate-passed provision to require teachers to submit materials that might be considered obscene to school boards for prior review. On the rare occasions when challenges to classroom materials come up, administrators and school boards can deal with them. But the proposal distrusted teachers and could have had a chilling effect on classroom creativity.

    School boards are elected by the local citizens to oversee the schools.

    Expect to see more parents pulling their children out of the government indoctrination camps if the people they elected to control the matter have their hands tied behinds their backs.

    Meanwhile, low-rate teachers who have little real educational merit will use ’shock value’ to get their student’s attention.

    Typical
