I'm curious why he's targeting that Court of Mist and Fury book out of all the other schlock that's out there. The A Song of Ice and Fire books have descriptive sex scenes also. They're not as badly written as they appear to be in that Mist book, but they're still there and yet they're completely absent from this lawsuit.
Obvious publicity stunt. There's no legal basis to compel a private bookseller to stop selling or restrict a book based on someone taking offense to it.
This is insanity. One can make a case for keeping a book from preteens as age'inappropriate in a school setting, but to challenge a private sector company to do the same makes look like an ass.

The argument is precedent, the school banned the book as obscene, therefore Barnes and noble is providing availability of obscene material to minors
See also - The Bible, full of inappropriate content like rape, incest, murder, polygamy, torture…
so Court of Silver Fire is okay I guess but not Court of Mist and Fury 😂
2 live crew would like a word..
He's like, the champion of destroying parental responsibility

A waste of taxpayer money just so they can further their Christian dominionist agenda.
This SHOULD be the definition of a frivolous lawsuit (against B&N). Hopefully they ask for (and are granted) fees from this guy.
Just waiting for the apologists who said "nobody is stopping bookstores from selling them, why does a high school senior need to read them"
Free market only free if Republicans permit the products?
So, a textbook example of government censorship.
It's so wildly illegal, not that these people give a damn.
Don't worry... They'll been that book as well...
I fucking hate Tim Anderson
Just keep trying to roll us more and more backwards. FFS
