I think you believe that you’re telling us some awful truth, but those of us who volunteer in our kids’ libraries and have read the books your side is banning know you’re full of sit.

Furthermore, your repeated linkage of “porn” and “schools” really tells on you.

Funny how Mr. Steele deletes the posts that shows it and school boards don't let it be read out loud.

So, now you have an issue with censorship? Funny how that works.

It's his show he can do whatever he want.

But if not appropriate on this website or school board meeting, not for the children's.

The "children's" weren't reading that book. It was in a high school.

And since 99.999 % of high schoolers have phones, they have access to true porn 24/7.

So don't give us that crap about how you want to protect the little darlings from porn.

Well some of us don't give our children smartphones or let them have unfiltered access to the Internet.

Exactly. Just get the porn out of our schools.

There’s no porn in schools. It’s a right wing lie, and you enjoy being led around by the nose.

There's definitely porn in schools. I came across some very explicit romance novels in the high school library when I was a teen. And yes, I'm just as much against hetero bodice rippers in school libraries as I am against LGBT explicit material.

Not your call to make.

I am 60. By the time I was 10 I had all the basics of sex down between school puberty classes and and information 4 book series on puberty and sex from my parents, I think from Time Life.

I also read a lot and my parents never restricted me. So I had a realistic view of what sex was, good and bad, before I became sexually active. Which was in my 20s, with my now husband.

Reading about sex when I was 12 was not bad. It was not "porn." And it gave me the foundation to proceed with my life to the fullest because I was not naive.

Have you looked at Gender Queer or This Book is Gay? These are the books parents are objecting to. They don’t want books in school libraries telling their kids to sign up for Grindr. Maybe you’re okay with that, but a lot of people aren’t.

Not your call. Nobody is forcing your kid to read anything.

These irresponsible parents need to check their kids phones before they decide that school libraries are full of "porn". Moms for Liberty have the freedom to be complete hypocrites.

Again, many of the parents who object to these books are the same parents who give their kids dumbphones instead of smartphones and make sure their children's Internet use is monitored. Because we don't want our children accessing pornographic material. You know why I'm concerned about this issue? Because my parents didn't care and let me have unsupervised Internet in middle school and I ended up finding pornography and chat rooms as a 7th grade girl.

You understand that we are talking about actual books right?
This isn’t about internet access.

Bodice rippers aren't porn.

High schoolers are old enough to read them. Most won't bother.

Bodice rippers aren't porn. Meanwhle they have actual porn on their phones which 90% of the parents can't be bothered to do anythging about.

DP. Sure have! Have you? Have you actually read the books entire or are you just focusing on one or two pictures? Because my guess is you haven’t read the books in question.

That still doesn’t answer why so many schools are being stripped of LGBTQ family books and books about African American history. Oh, I know why: you guys are controlling fascists who want your way and love controlling other people!

This is what gets me. Their kids are watching porn on their phones and girls are remaining virgins by having anal sex. What a farce these christofacists are.

We should just put a MAGA parental control filter on their ID at the library. Then they can't check out any book not MAGA approved.

You still haven’t answered - name an elementary, middle, or high school that has Hustler magazine or equivalent or porn dvds in their library. Name one.

Apparently your definition of porn is not most people’s definition of porn.

Not whom you are replying to but I would count explicit sexual content in books as pornographic.

I would consider explicit sex scenes in books to be pornographic. Maybe we just disagree on the definition of porn. I'm pretty sure most people who are against explicit sexual content in library books are also doing their best to keep their children away from Internet porn. Everyone I know who is concerned about these books does not allow their children to use smartphones, social media, or unsupervised/unfiltered Internet.


"printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings."

Written materials do indeed fall under this definition.
