Christian author gets Books-A-Million to change Sexuality display
Christian author-blogger Nancy French reports she successfully pressured Books-A-Million into changing its Sexuality display. “I suggested to my Twitter followers to Tweet the corporate headquarters to raise awareness. You guys did just that!” A note from the book chain followed:
We are removing the top shelf presentation and ensuring that no graphic covers are front-faced within the Personal Growth section.
French — co-author of Bristol Palin’s recently published book — thanks Books-A-Million “for helping parents protect themselves – and their children – from seeing these inappropriate images.”

The Facebook comments so far are an indication of the demise of modern American society.
Safe at last from the horrors of sex. Heaven forbid our children know about that topic.
Yeah, Sandy, because kids would never learn about sex if there weren’t posters like this in the aisle of a bookstore.

You keep making that connection, though.
Robert — Is your goal to go from topic to topic and anger readers? I’m pretty close to banning you again. I’d really like these boards to be civil.
(1) No.
(2) So?
(3) Oh. You should do better at moderating, then, if you want Goal No. 3 to come to fruition.
Here’s a tip — look more closely at posts.
