I am a parent.
I do not object.
A small portion of parents don’t get to dictate to everyone.

I’m a school librarian. 25 years running. Pretty sure I haven’t corrupt anyone on my watch. My own children read whatever they wanted to. They’re all successful adults.
Trust professionals.

I'm a former teacher and a parent of two. These books are not appropriate for school libraries.
And, since tax dollars fund the purchase of books, we do indeed get a say in books available to students.
Purchase the classics. Purchase appropriate literature. Leave the smut for parents to purchase for their own children.
And, sorry - we have seen over the past 3 years that blind trust in professionals is naive.

Well said. Thank you. Your former students were lucky to have a teacher who cares as much as you clearly do.

Thank you. I am absolutely mystified by supposed parents who believe that books like Gender Queer and All Boys Aren't Blue should be available in school libraries. I truly cannot understand it. I would really think long and hard about allowing my children to associate with children of parents who have these views.

What about parents who let their kids read Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer?

You are more than welcome to provide these books to your kids. They are not appropriate in schools.

Exactly.

I'm glad you are a former teacher, as I sure would not want such a bigoted and hateful person teaching my children.

+1. I'd rather my children read something that may be more too mature for them, than eexperiencing a school shooting.

Who are you to decide what is, and what is not appropriate? Is it that hard to monitor what your children are reading?

Do you think the book banners from a century ago look good today? Hope so, because you are in the same class as they are.

" I would really think long and hard about allowing my children to associate with children of parents who have these views"

Your comments, not mine. Proves what a closed-minded and intolerant person you are.

And I’m absolutely mystified at people stupid enough to believe that these books are widely available in school libraries. Moreover, you fascists keep proving you haven’t read the book, you’ve just had one or two pages spoon fed to you. You don’t get it in context and you don’t want it in context.

Meanwhile fascists like you are busy banning the books you actually want gone - books that feature gay people as parts of normal families. books about African American history. books about our multicultural country. These are your real targets; you want a white patriarchal and heteronormative America again.

We can pick out some very selective passages from the Bible and make them sound like dirty p*** as well.

That’s your sad, weird opinion on a pair of books you haven’t read. Now talk about all the African American history books you and your fascist party have banned.

Gender queer and all boys aren’t blue aren’t porn.
Look up the definition.
Read the books in their entirety.
Suggest something else that meets the needs of lgbtq students.

Don’t worry. Our children aren’t in the same circles.
You couldn’t afford our school.
