It has been a banner evening over at Yokel headquarters as we turned the pages of today’s Reconsideration Committee report! What a treat we have for you, dear readers, as sanity once more wins out in our nice county!

For a long time now we’ve tried to tell Cindy and al. that they don’t understand what the word pornography means. (Here’s the link in which we tried to educate) What we came to see, as we perused this report, is not only were we unable to dissuade her of this erroneous definition, but she and her two minions took their misunderstanding to a whole new level. These books are apparently illegal because of their very poor understanding of the meaning of that word.

Before we get to some examples of the evaluation of these books, we need to share some more of the written and verbal testimony from both Cindy and current board member (!) Nancy Allen!

Let’s start with why Cindy doesn’t believe that she actually has to read the books:

How’d you like that logic! Let’s keep going….

She continues on her journey…..

Now, we aren’t just going to focus on Cindy’s misconstructions, as we also have evidence of current board member (!) Nancy Allen’s problems with definitions:

Now, let’s talk about that Miller Test because that is the standard the hard working people who spent hours actually reading and discussing these books used to evaluate these books:

Now let’s look at a couple of examples from committee applying The Miller Test to the books Cindy found so offensive.

Here’s another one we enjoyed:

“We did not see the above things in the book”!!!! What a colossal waste of everyone’s time this was!

So, the committee gave two recommendations:

And…

Overall, a resounding victory for intellectual freedom and sanity. So how is our friend Cindy doing on her day of resounding defeat? NOT SO GOOD…..

Also, FCPS is going to start allowing parents to prohibit their child from checking out books they don’t want them to read. Therefore, if this is really about protecting their children from themes they don’t believe they are ready for and not about marginalizing groups of people and opinions they find offensive, then this case is officially closed.
