The Clay County School Board in Florida cut off a speaker’s microphone at its school board meeting after the man started reading a sexually explicit passage from a book that is available in local school libraries.
During the public comment session of a June 30 meeting, a man identifying as Bruce Friedman expressed concerns over the 2009 book “Lucky” by Alice Sebold, which is based on the author’s own experience as a rape victim, only to have his microphone turned off before he could read from the memoir a graphic description of a rape.
