Senator Joe Pennacchio has voiced his opposition to legislation identified as A-3446, which would allow certain books and materials in school libraries. Speaking on the Senate floor, Senator Pennacchio articulated his concerns regarding the accessibility of what he termed "obscene" content to minors.
"Our greatest responsibility is protecting the most vulnerable in society, certainly our children should receive the highest priority," stated Sen. Pennacchio. He further emphasized, "Exposing minors to material that they are not yet prepared for flies in the face of that responsibility."
The debate surrounding this legislation continues as stakeholders consider its implications for educational resources available to students.
