Speak Loudly...For Everyone Who Needs You To

I thought, when I made this blog, that I would be able to avoid anything having to due with my own, umm, intimate life... But, right now, I don't care. Yes, I'm a fourteen year old girl, a MINOR, and if any adult wants to get creepy with this, then shove your ass right into prison.

A professor, Wesley Scroggins, from MO, wanted to ban the book SPEAK, along with two others in a public school. His argument was that SPEAK, with it's two rapes scenes. was "soft pornography."

One word: EW. Pron, by definition, is meant to, well, turn you on. If, as a grown man, a young girl turns you on, you need help. If, at any age, rape turns you on, you need help. To put them both together is horrifying.

He is, no offense intended, an uber-Christian. That's great, that he expresses what he believes religiously, but he's working to ban SPEAK in a PUBLIC SCHOOL. I don't care if you;re Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, atheistic, agnostic, polytheistic or Scientologist. You have no right to voice your opinion about religion in a public school. That's why it's public; it's for EVERYONE.

Now, this man is saying that sexual exploitation is something to be ashamed of. To feel dirty and keep hushed, alone. I'm freaked out to type this, but when I was little something happened to me. Not what a few people are thinking. While it wasn't rape, or anything like that, it's not...good.

It's been repressed almost completely; I didn't even remember when I first saw this hype. THAT repressed. But I never had the courage to speak up; and no one will listen anyway. I've decided it's too late for me. I can deal on my own. I think I've done pretty well. So, don't worry about me, but just keep Speaking Loudly.
