Some West Brazos Junior High parents still not satisfied.
So. The library closed down, created a permission-slip-required "Mature Readers Only" section, sent out the permission slips and re-opened.
But:
In the week since permission slips went home, the majority of West Brazos Junior High parents have agreed to allow their children access to the school’s young adult library section, school district officials said.
However, a few parents are concerned a letter sent with their permission slip might have led parents to believe only mild profanities were included in the books placed in that section.
So, they got what they wanted, right? Their kids aren't allowed to read Louise Rennison or Meg Cabot or Tom Clancy or John Green or Judy Blume or whoever -- any book that includes words from hell and damn to the Big Eff is Off-Limits, as is any sort of book that deals with Issues.
What it comes down to is this: now that it's clear that most West Brazos parents are comfortable trusting their kids to pick out their own books, the few people who complained in the first place are mad that they're clearly in the minority.
