    Wow, this is so stupid. Just another attempt to block people from being exposed to LGBT issues/literature.

    If there was actual pornography in the book: Fine.

    If there wasn't actual pornography in the book: She should be ashamed to call herself a librarian.

    In all honesty, banning books usually brings more attention to them (and people reading them) than leaving the book on the shelf.

    Also, considering GLSEN loved it, I doubt there was any pornography in it.

    I don't think there was ANY child pornography. I'm calling bullshit. Shame on that librarian!

    I highly doubt there was any child pornography. Or maybe the anthology had a reference to child pornography in one of the stories or something. It's most likely just the pathetic view of the librarian who still believes in that stupid myth about homosexuals being child molesters.

    If you read the article, they say:
    The Title.
    It's just the person having a stick up their ass.
