If you can explain what is inappropriate for high school students (since the don't say gay law has now been expanded to include everyone up through high school) about the books we could maybe have a conversation.
Ok, I had to do about 5 minutes of research on this one because I hadn't heard of the Maximum Ride series itself or its banning. What I did discover was that it was apparently removed from one elementary school in Florida due to a parent complaint that it was not appropriate for elementary school students as it is apparently marketed for children 12 and above. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with your so called "Don't Say Gay" law, and no high school students in the district were harmed by its removal from a school they haven't attended for at least 3 years.

For the record, I don't have a problem with that.
