TTYL (Talk to You Later) is the book title. TTYL is about three High School sophomore girls who are best friends that stick it out through thick and thin. That’s all great. Too bad writer Lauren Myracle thinks teen girls will be sexually repressed by their Christian parents, and must be liberated by an X-rated and vulgar sexual expose of the "real world". TTYL is deservedly on the 2007 top ten most banned book list of ALA.Thanks to persistent objection from RRISD parents, the book has been removed from Round Rock Middle School libraries. Superintendent, Dr. Jesus Chavez took action to protect young readers against TTYL on Monday, Nov. 17th.
Thank God that parents have stood up to the process, and persisted in protecting little ones. Thank God that Dr. Chavez recognized TTYL is not appropriate for Middle School girls. The Jennings and other Round Rock parents have set a great example, making a difference by engaging the process.
God Save the U.S.A.

I'm glad the "good guys" actually won. Congrats to the Jennings and the others who were vocal about the right thing to do.
I also thank God for Dr. Chavez and his willingness to stand up for what's right.
Question: How many vocal parents will attend the next school board meeting and thank Dr. Chavez during the Public Comments? Chances are not many.
I hope I'm wrong. Keep us posted.
The "rents" have already been thanking Dr. Chavez via email, as did I. They have called for prayer for him, as the other side is still out there, and they did ask folks to attend the meeting tonight to thank him publicly.
We'll see how many show up, but the proper action has been requested.
Thanks for the comment.
