As a lifelong librarian and ex-parent-of two-kids-in Capo, can with equivocation say 1) this kind of censorship is wrong, period. And 2) Capo has much bigger and more important issues to be focussing on rather than hearing out lunatics.
So true, these lunatics are just in it for the show. As you mention, it is policy for a parent to opt their kid out of any book so why the F are these weirdos wasting everyone's time at these meetings?
Normally, I’m with you, but this article and the article before about Amber should have been focused on Trustee Bullockus and her lack of judgement. It took Trustee Bullockus 217 days to apologize for her use of the n-word while behind the scenes she was in the process of picking Amber as her IMRC rep. Someone known for not reading the books, semi-doxxing people, and for also defending Trustee Bullockus’s remarks to begin with.
Said another way, has Trustee Bullockus truly learned her lesson when in a board room full of people where the majority of people were upset and on the side of anti-racism, her pick for the IMRC, Amber Smith was pro-racism?????
I doubt it.
Not to mention the fact that after all of this, the board, save Trustee Castellanos (God bless her!), elevated her back into the vice-presidency for a second year in a row.
You also don’t have kids in the CUSD district yet somehow your gross opining on the happenings within CUSD are okay.
No one’s interested in your sexual…anything, least of all your wife, I’m sure - who, by the way, deserves a crown of eternal glory for having to crawl into bed next to you every night and endure God knows what.
We get it - you were a foul, nasty kid, but guess what: not every teen was like Jeff Pearlman in all his putrid adolescence.
Your naive “Oh, a teacher said it’s okay, so it must be so!” mantra is pretty much the exact opposite of the mantra of any real journalist - even better is your bragging about how many people you interviewed about a dead rapper, but let me guess: the left side of the Internet told you Poet X was good reading for teens so damn that Amber Smith for thinking otherwise! And! Your “horny” teen self liked that sex stuff so Poet X for all, it is!
Haha. This column seems ripe for the South Park writers to turn into a sequel to their San Diego piece. It would be a combo "Stay Classy" and "Jackin' it" bit given the calling out of the "wannabe journalist."

Very probing reporting, Jeff. I hope you had a good smoke after you finished.

Your wife has my condolences.
Everything you say may well be true. But, unlike you, I don't hide behind anonymity.
Bravo! Jeff Pearlman, Hero of the Century! He willingly attaches his name to the crap he churns out!
You'd think they would celebrate a heterosexual couple gettin jiggy...
