“Hush Your Mouth”: School Board SILENCES Dad Calling Out Pornographic Book Available at School Library
Adan Salazar with Infowars reports:
A Florida school board muzzled a concerned father who was attempting to call out pornographic library material during a meeting, with a school board member telling him to “hush [his] mouth.”
“Tonight I’m going to give a sampling from the three books that are in our library,” the dad identified as Bruce Friedman announced, “and then you can discuss the process by which these books get on the shelves…cause there’s a Clay County employee that got paid to put this book, ‘Lucky’ by Alice Sebold.”
UNREAL. A dad says he’s gonna read from graphic books available to children in school and gets shut down by @oneclayschools board before he even starts because it might be against the law to read from these books in front of children.

“I’m gonna read things — if there’s children watching, cover their ears,” the dad cautioned, as he proceeded to read.
As soon as Friedman started reading, his mic was abruptly turned off and a school board member told him, “I’m going to stop you right there, sir. I’m going to stop you right there.”
“Turn off his microphone,” the board member directed, as the dad asked, “Why?”
“I’ve told you I’m stopping you,” the board member told him.
“The reason I’m stopping you is because these meetings …” the board member said, as the dad interrupted him.
“If you’ll hush your mouth for a minute and listen instead of just talking you’ll learn something,” the man who was somewhere off-camera told Friedman.
“The problem is, sir, that these meetings are broadcast. There are people with whom are watching it on YouTube. There are people that are watching it on community television,” he said, as Friedman again tried to speak up.
“Are you gonna listen, or are you gonna run your mouth,” the school board member again scolded Friedman.
