A school district was forced to pay over 100K in legal fees after banning moms from exposing pornographic material at school board meetings.
Forsyth County School District [FSC] agreed to pay attorney’s fees in a federal lawsuit brought by a group of parents who were censored at school board meetings.

The Mama Bears settled a federal lawsuit against the Georgia school district after one of the group’s members was barred from reading sexually explicit excerpts at school board meetings.
FCS will pay the Mama Bears’ attorneys $107,50 and the plaintiffs nominal damages of $17.91.

The book, she read at the school board meeting, “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” reads “I know that you give someone a blow job by putting your penis …”
