Father Says Sons Traumatized By Lesbian Library Book

(Bentonville, Arkansas) A Bentonville, Arkansas man is demanding the city pay him $20,000 for the pain and suffering of his sons after they discovered a book on lesbian sex in their local library.
"[They were] greatly disturbed" said Earl Adams his letter to the city. "[We had] many sleepless nights in our house."
Adams wants $10,000 per child, the maximum allowed under the Arkansas obscenity law.
Adams also wants the city to fire library director Cindy Suter.
The boys, aged 14- and 16 came across the book while the 14-year-old was looking for material on military academies.
The book, "The Whole Lesbian Sex Book" by Felice Newman was moved to an inaccessible area of the library after Adams first complained, and then removed altogether following a second complaint from the man.
In a letter to Mayor Bob McCaslin, Adams said the book is "patently offensive and lacks any artistic, literary or scientific value."
A city attorney said that Adams' demand for money is without merit.
The city library board in removing the book said it will look for another volume on lesbians and if something "more appropriate" is not found "The Whole Lesbian Sex Book" will be returned.
"Any effort to reinstate the book will be met with legal action and protests from the Christian community," Adams stated in an e-mail to the Morning News newspaper.
The paper said that Adams asked to answer questions by e-mail because he said he feared being misquoted.
Meanwhile, Suter has announced her intention to resign effective May 31, but she told the Morning News the decision had nothing to do with the controversy.
The job is part time and she said she needs to devote more time to her business.
Hmmm... two teenaged boys "traumatized" by a lesbian sex book. That's an interesting tale to tell a homophobic father.
I had a similar episode but _much_ earlier in childhood. What was funny that the book was called "Sex life" or something, and it was in the home library right above Jules Verne, with a whole part devoted to Lesbians. I believe it was like, year 1989.
God. I loved everything from the first and last picture (incidentally, it was drawn by an anathomy specialist as a technical sex guide, not some sort of erotic gibberish) even though I was really small.
And me and my relatives had a lot of laughs about that. I don't think it can instill any sort of "trauma" into a normal person, especially one aged 14 or 16, pardon me.

Yeah, hopefully he can prevent his innocent sons from learning how a woman's body works. I wonder if the dad in this story will earn the nickname "Dox Quixote."

I think the "trauma" involved here was caused by too much wanking, without lube.
"Yeah, funny how that works - you giving hungry people food they vote for you. You give homeless people shelter they vote for you. You give the unemployed a job they vote for you.
Maybe if the conservative ideology put a roof overhead, food on the table, and employed the downtrodden the poor folk would be all for it, too". - Broomstick
If this father hadn't been such a closeminded bigoted and just plain maliciously stupid asshole he'd have had the foresight to prepare his sons for the reality that sex amongst lesbians does indeed exist. Of course, this is likely all just a blatant moneygrab coupled with the desire to shape the world into giving the kids a wholesome Christian upbringing without his needing to lift a finger because he's too fucking lazy to be a fucking parent!
Why don't we get rid of all the books dealing with sex from the libraries!
Also, I find it absolutely asinine that the library has to cater to the whims of a single asshole. One person complaining multiples times about the same book is not greater than him complaining once.

You say that as if such things haven't been tried before!
How credulous is this guy? Oh yeah, his sons were TOTALLY looking for strong, butch ARMY BOOKS RAR and they found this... awful... DISTURBING... book about hot GIRL ON GIRL ACTION. Ya... huh.
I mean, teenagers never poke around the biology section, right?

Methinks they didn't use the Dewy system properly - lesbian sex books tend not to be in the military academies section.
Maybe there's an exhaustive section on activities you should under no circumstances tell anybody you are doing if you want to avoid getting chucked out of a military academies under don't ask don't tell rules.
Who the fuck looks for jerkoff material in the library? These kids are fucking dumbasses.
The father probably discovered one of 'em beating their meat to it one day and flipped out. What a shitworm.

Maybe teens who's scarily uptight parents have installed net nanny type filter software on their PCs at home that they haven't figured out how to bypass it.

Military books are in the 340s and 350s sections. Sex books are filed in the 613.96 area, I would know, I have a couple on loan.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.
If they grew up with this fucktard for a dad, those lesbian sex books are probably the only sex education they're going to get, because you can bet your left testicle that he wouldn't tolerate sex education in his kids' school either.

At least they'll know how to keep any future girlfriends satisfied.

I don't know about that. Things might go south when one of the boys asks his girlfriend to rub his clitoris.
