The Spotsylvania County school board has voted to remove any content containing, mentioning, or about "sexually related content" and this has now included violence-related content as well. This criteria might take half or more of all our books off shelves in our libraries. This includes classics like Romeo and Juliet, No Exit, Mythology texts, and even the famous author Margaret Atwood. 

"My grandmother emmigrated from Nazi Germany to America to get away from a censored education, so that her and her grandchildren could have an honest, real, UNCENSORED education," says fellow student at Riverbend High School. Please do not allow our education to be censored and banned.

This is not Fahrenheit 451 (another book that will be censored or banned), as 2 members of the schoolboard have mentioned "burning our books". We are not wanting to repeat history as the nazis burned books, or wanting to create a dystopian world, both shunned and rejected by society. We have been brought up hating nazis, rightly so, let us not fall back and follow in their footsteps. 

Please, please, please, I beg you, sign this petition and save our education, and the education for the generations to come.
