Thank you Michelle for starting this petition. Shame on the current AC board. Michelle, you have our votes for school board should you decide to run ! | yes |

I heartily affix my signature to this proper petition. My grandchildren too did not react to the cowboy's nakedness, but loved the interaction between the cowboy and his dog. They laughed out loud at the tussle. Thank you for this initiative. | yes |

How spineless are we when the puritanical views of a few dictate the reading material available for the many? And since when is taking one's clothes off(which I believe is the choice most of us make when bathing)a motivation to view pornography? Grow up! | No. I am in the neighboring district. |

I find it unfathomable that there can exist in the 21st century a school board comprised of people so mindless as to ban this delightful and perfectly harmless book. Just as books can be removed from libraries, school board members can also be removed. | Yes |
| 217 |
Tanya | Richter |
Disgraceful that so many members of the Annville-Cleona School Board yielded to the ignorance of a few. My family does not want these people deciding what can be read. To find this book objectionable indicates a sick, warped mind.
| yes |
| 218 |
Patricia | Steely |
Please reinstate the book in the Library. The book is adorable and fun to read to children. It is NOT pornographic! Parents can choose if they think the book is appropriate or not. Some giggles relating to the Human Body are quite appropriate. | |
| 219 |
Sally | Pulice |

It's embarrassing to attend a school that banned such an innocent book and made national news by doing so. | Yes |

I think it's a jump to say that pictures of someone bathing lead to pornography. This was a hasty decision that I hope the board will reverse. | Yes |

I intend to buy this book for my grandchildren. To think that the board and some teachers were able to banish this book on one parent's opinion is ridiculous.That is certainly not a democracy. Terrible that this was done. | Yes to all of the questions |

Banning books is wrong. Period. Please reinstate it! | yes |
| 231 |
Becky | Fullmer |
The book isn't teaching children anything innappropriate, nor should it be disturbing to an adult. It's simply a silly scenario, & it is disturbing to me that any more would be thought of it. Is "The Emperor's New Clothes" going to be banned next? | Yes |
| 232 |

Don't we all get dirty and take baths? What is so objectionable? I respect a parent's choice to decide what is appropriate for their child, but not the entire school community. | yes |

Every book has a right to be read by any FREE individual. | no |

If we want to see this reversed, we must craft well-reasoned, logical arguments. Let's do this right and make sure we're organized. | Yes |

Banning this book was the most ridiculous and backward thing I've ever heard of. My kids enjoyed this book and they (shock) were not harmed at all!!)I hope saner and smarter heads will prevail and that the book will be reshelved! | No |

Censorship is not what we do! | Yes |

Excellent award-winning book, Rockwell-type paintings! One person/family's "objection" is now denying MANY children access to a treasure because eight others would not stand up for freedom of the press! | No |

Deanna | Dodson |
I have two sons in the Annville-Cleona school district and an very concerned about this decision. This book contains nothing that justifies such an outrageous decision. I encourage the school board to reconsider its decision. | Yes |

PA: Philadelphia on one end, Pittsburgh on the other, and Alabama in the middle. I see we are dealing with the Bigot Belt. | No |

The parents should be the ones to decide what their children can read or not read. This is not the job of the school | no |
| 261 |
Michael | Swauger |
| No |
| 262 |
Pat | Jornov |
If a parent does not want their child to read a book, then you don't let them read it. | No |
| 263 |

As a former librarian I have run into this before and I have always fought censorship. Thank you to those who oppose any type of censorship! | No |
| 264 |
Mike | Stanilla |
After seeing the school board ban this book for no reason it makes me sad to say that I graduated from AC. | No, in a neighboring district |

It is ludicrous to imagine that our schools teach about the Constitution, yet seem to do their best to "spit in the face of it" at every chance they get. Unfortunately, not much imagination is required since this happens all to often. | Yes |

Jenny | Wareham |

Kimberly | Houser |
Very disappointed in my chosen hometown school board. | yes |
| 273 |
Shannon | Mavica |
As a librarian, I support putting this book back into Annville-Cleona's school library. If parents do not want their children to read it, they should guide them to another choice. But certainly it should be made available to those who wish to read it. | no |
| 274 |
L | Ambrose |
Purchased the book, shared it with friends, plan to enjoy it with the grandchildren.
The school board was remiss in even considering this request let alone acting on it! | no |
| 275 |
Amy | O'Connor |
Education is meant to open our minds to worlds, experiences, cultures, and opinions that we do not know or understand. If certain parents do not want their child to read this book that is their right, but they do not have the right to prohibit others. | No |
| 276 |
Nina | Darley |
I am horrified by the banning of this material. It clearly demonstrates the importance of good hygiene to children.
The library offers choices to patron, if you choose not to read this book - fine. But you have no right to make that decision for others. | no |
| 277 |
Krystal | Rullo |
Banning books is an embarrassment. You should not have banned this book b/c of ONE parent. That parent should just have told their child they are not allowed to read it. Let the other kids enjoy it! | yes |
| 278 |
Caroleigh | Heaton |
An adorable book that will make kids want to take baths - what's wrong with that? If a parent objects to a particular book, he should guide his child to other books; he should not have the power to restrict other children's right to read. | No |
| 279 |
KT | Altman |
I would have been delighted to have my children read this charming book. From the logic here, I suppose a children's book about Adam and Eve would also be banned.... | No |
| 280 |
Dale | Crighton |
Unbelievable to think people acctually think this is "obscenity, absolute obscenity”. | |

Paul | Whitten |
What an absolute joke. If they don't like the book, then don't check it out. I hate it when close-minded people think they can run the world. Those who know the least say it the loudest! | No |
| 284 |
Lena | Mangold |
Are you kidding me?? Simple nudity is now sinful? Way to raise those kids to be as oppressed and miserable as you seem to be, school board members! P.S. - You were born naked into this world and without sin. AT THE SAME TIME!! | No, thank goodness. |
| 285 |

When my grandfather told the tale to Amy and I, what fascinated me about the story was how the dog (a species renowned for accurately judging good/bad character) was thrown off by the cleansing effects of a river and bar of soap. Know what makes you you! | |
| 293 |
Annie | Roach |
| yes |
| 294 |
Michael | Clark |
As a school librarian this is appalling. As someone whose parents and eight other aunts and uncles graduated from Annville-Cleona I know of the schools to have a long history of excellence, but this just makes it a laughing stock of the USA. | No, but family members do. |
| 295 |

A lovely story with a lovely moral response. How can you be do foolish to ban this. As a former Pennsylvanian and now a professor who teaches children's literature, I am ashamed at your actions. This is not a communist country. | |
