Parents turn out in force to clash and support Cherry Creek in shadow of allegations of library ‘porn’

Aurora Sentinel: Hundreds of people turned out Monday to a Cherry Creek School board meeting, insisting that critics of controversial library materials are spreading misinformation about books associated with sexuality. 

“When we start letting parents walk into our libraries to pull books off the shelf and then declare them as pornographic or unacceptable in some way, then we no longer have intellectual freedom in schools,” parent Heidi Parish told school board members and the audience. 

Of the 200-300 people estimated at the school board meeting, held at Prairie Middle School, the vast majority came to support the school district’s policies regarding potentially sensitive materials in public school libraries.
