School boards have been a point of contention among the American people and especially parents with children in our public schools for a couple of years now. Several scenes have played out in front of school board meetings: parents angrily voicing their concerns about curriculum, students decrying district policies, and government leaders calling for resignations. It's put a spotlight on boards to do right by their students and the parents of those students.
While this is the first time I think I've ever seen the Cabarrus County School Board, and while I don't know if the increased scrutiny is causing them to act or if they've always been proactive in support of the values held in their community, it looks like they are looking to rid their school district of 'filth' that can presently be found in the libraries.
Before reading a short excerpt from a single book in question, the board not only asked that the room be cleared of anyone under the age of eighteen but still broke out into a discussion regarding the need to read the book allow and disseminate what the board described as "filth." The entire video of the meeting is embedded below, comments concerning the book begin at 8:26. The reading of the book begins at 24:30. Yes, they broke into a conversation lasting nearly 20 minutes about whether the board should even read the book after children were asked to leave the room.
