Okay, I have to put my two cents in here.  As a public librarian moved into the 
public and now private school arena, I have noticed a BIG difference in attitudes 
towards students' right to read what they choose.

My problem with the whole parental request thing?  What if a student is gay, yet 
the parent doesn't want the child reading books about sex?  Does this mean he/she 
wouldn't be allowed to pick up and read a book written by other homosexual teens?  
This seems totally against the purpose of libraries...
