Here are featured comments from our Speak Out hotline, discussions on www.srpressgazette.com and its sister websites.

LIBERALS AMAZE ME

The name is Harold Allen, retired military. The liberals in this area never cease to amaze me. Case in point: a recent article by Maria Lyon and Dan Stewart, I think, proves my case. Thank you.

Editor’s Note: Although this is a fair comment on previously published material, the Press Gazette cannot confirm, nor assume, that the residents mentioned are exclusively liberal.

‘SO GAY’ SIGN NOT OFFENSIVE

It's not offensive … unless for some reason being other than heterosexual and not ashamed is offensive.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Good for Rachel. I hope she doesn't submit to the bullying and keeps the sign on her car. Freedom of speech in America (is) doing some good for once.

JAY MISSING OUT

Carl Deuker has been a middle school teacher for over 30 years. He is pretty experienced to know what is happening with middle school children. One of those things being girls grow breasts.

Just because you take a book away that talks about it doesn't mean that girls will automatically stop growing breasts or that boys will stop looking at them.

Carl Dueker is a excellent author of (young adult books) and your kids are really missing out by taking this (book) away.
