A teacher is on suspension in South Carolina for reading Ender's Game to her class. The Guardian has an article.

I saw this the other day and was kind of boggled. OTOH,South Carolina seems to be having a contest in the last year or two to see how dumb things it can get in the news for. Given that these parents also called the police over the matter, it's surprising that the school board is taken them as seriously as it is.

Wanted to ask if you went to any of the reason rally. Heard about it on NPR today. Not that I would probably have gone anyway, but it might have a been a bit more useful if they'd mentioned it a little further in advance. (Apparently someone advertised it, depending on the attendance they expected, but not via any channel I hear things through.)

It took place a quarter mile from where I live, and I didn't find out about it until after it was over. I'm not happy about that. *sigh*

I don't know why the South Carolina thing surprised me. It boggles my mind that the incident made it into The Guardian.
