books to never have available? Micromanaging to that extent is not what I would like. Leave it up to the district -- if someone complains about a book, deal with it locally. Do many schools even have Cock Sucking Tips by the editors of Cosmopolitan?

I think it depends. When all power is given to local governments, you end up with things like little conservative small towns deciding to "educate" the students with right-wing, religious BS. There has to be some overall standard to make sure they are actually getting educated. That being said, in some matters, locals are more familiar with things.

ah so we have another situation where the principle of checks and balances, not having too much concentrated power anywhere, is desirable
I bring this up as the state of Utah has decided to specify exactly which books must not be on public school premises. Apparently the privileged private schools are hands off, like it's not really important, to have laws applicable the same for all.

That's called history. When I was in school, slavery, civil war, the freeing of the slaves, Rosa Parks, etc... was part of my history class.

So everything I was taught was wrong? Lincoln didn't free them? Harriet Tubman wasn't part of the underground railroad? We had several weeks of slavery education, followed by tests about it.
