Don't be ridiculous - the book should be pulled pronto! if other parents want their little kiddies reading graphic novels with sexual undertones and states of undress, let them do it at home. My guess is that the other parents don't even know the book exists. IT”S AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!!

Most of the folks who live in the district work in Lincoln. Both of the secondary art teachers there are former students of mine from when I was a college prof. It's a very,very good public school. Invariably, you will always get some disgruntled mother who not only wants a particular book kept from her child, but from ALL of the children. I hope the committee finds in favor of keeping graphic novels in the library and sends a clear message to these cranks who want to impose their moral views on everyone else. Perhaps she should home school her kid to protect him from being exposed to IDEAS. The Norris School District is a few minutes south of Lincoln, where I live.

Comic books are just plain fun. If this one shows too much skin, then keep it in the High School library (PG) ... but comic books are generally great reading material.
