The legislation, passed Wednesday by the Senate Committee on Higher Education, would let university and community college students opt out of required reading of items the youngsters consider personally offensive or pornographic.

Two things:

1. There’s nothing that requires you, as a student, to agree with the books you read in class. In fact, in any good classroom environment, active disagreement with the material is not only acceptable but also encouraged. If not liking a book becomes the criteria for not having to read it, literature courses across the nation are doomed.
2. Jake Flake from Snowflake? Now that sounds like something out of pornography.
