"In a recent column in the Deering High School newspaper, senior Colleen Hagyari questions why the school is spending tax dollars to buy "written garbage" such as the "Mew Mew" series, which averages six words a page and features seventh-grade girls who learn to "dress and act like floozies" to get what they want."
Oh yes. Moralistic soccar moms raise their ugly heads again. I guess its too difficult to think out side the box...
Hn...I'd just like to say as a parent myself, people need to lighten up. Hide things from your kids, and they'll just be all the more curious. My son reads manga. All kinds. Same goes for cartoons. I know what he's watching, and if a situation arises that might seem a bit "over his head", we talk about it. There are certain shows I won't let him watch at this time, but when he gets older, I intend on follow the same critera. There's nothing wrong with him. He's not bad. He's not damaged. If anything, he's better off than most children whose parents are to afraid to address touchy subjects.
I hate articles like this. As a parent, they piss me off.
