Barnes and Nobles, Grooming Children for the New Age

[Basherbelding]

Wow I'm glad we have a good bookstore with hundreds of good books in it including children's books! that is disgusting! Were are all the children's books? The evil books are really bad. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for posting this, i just  noticed this is not just a bookstuore. I looked at the other pictures and the items are also bad. Kids could see them!

God bless,

I don't know...if I were to drive the 30 minutes to the nearest B&N, I wouldn't be letting my daughter roam unsupervised.  Parents should parent, even at the store (maybe especially).

[don has a plan]

My son loves to go to B&N for the same reason as Charles' son -- to play with (and beg Daddy to buy) the Thomas trains.  I hate going there.  I do definitely supervise him while there, as I do in any store.

To whomever mentioned the porn magazines in convenience stores -- I've seen those at stores in both Memphis and Little Rock, often on a small rack on the floor within kids' range of vision.  I'm not offended by them being present, personally, but I would not want my 5-year old seeing them.  Kids are being exposed to way too much sex and violence way too early.  That's mostly the parents' fault, but our materialistic obsessions are not helping any.

I remember some years ago Wal-Markses being strongly urged by parents' groups to remove Cosmo from the checkout stands.  (I think it would have been better to urge the City Council to remove Wal-Markses from town, but that's just me.)
