Florida county restoring dozens of books to school libraries after ‘book ban’ lawsuit
TALLAHASSEE, Florida — A central Florida school district this week agreed to restore 36 books that were challenged and previously pulled from campus libraries in a settlement of a federal lawsuit fighting how local officials carried out the state’s policies for shielding students from obscene content.
As part of the agreement, Nassau school officials acknowledged that “And Tango Makes Three” — a kids book about a penguin family at New York’s Central Park Zoo with two dads — contains no “obscene” material and is suitable for students of all ages. See my post "And Tango Makes Three".
The Washington Post: Arizona’s Republican Party announced Tuesday that it had designed about a dozen of the billboards in the Phoenix area in response to false claims shared by some top Republicans that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating Americans’ pets. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who plans to visit Arizona on Thursday, amplified those claims at an ABC News debate on Tuesday, despite police telling local news outlets that there was no evidence of anyone eating pets.
Hi Rhonda, On this side of the Pond, in what I still want to call the Queen's English the admonition would be: "Eat fewer kittens!", as kittens can be counted. Is the rule, the same in the States - fewer, Iif you can count them, but less if it is something you don't simply count, such as beer or junk food?

You are very correct. I saw that too.... I did not make the billboard.
