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.

Have you read either of these books in their entirety. WHY arent' they appropriate? Why do YOU get to decide for my children. I'm a tax payer too. I want them there for my children to read. Yours don't HAVE to read them. That's kind of how libraries work.

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

Same here. I agree that book doesn't belong on a school shelf, and would say the same of any hetero book with the same images, but I can't understand people saying they want to protect children and then being fine with school shootings.

Not all families have the resources to purchase books for their children. That is why libraries exist.
You do not need to check out any book from a library that you do not want to and none of these books have been mandatory reading in any public institution.
Never in the history of the universe has the denial to information been on the right side of history and led to great things.

Just because your child reads a book does not mean that it is indoctrinating them. If so, we would literally have no gay people in this world because 99% of books focus on heterosexual topics and couples. Is not how books work.
If you think your child is so fragile that they read a book and 100% change who they are as a person, then that's the person they always were and were just afraid to tell you.

I'm 100% for banning books You don't want in schools in schools. If we also ban guns from places, I don't want them.

Now the “moderate dems” (Republicans) can tel us how they just don’t like Biden and why that’s the same thing as this and how anyone disagrees is partisan.

There’s a book I dislike that I would like banned in libraries.

It has several descriptions of rape, incest, many violent murders (including one in the first chapter), is pro slavery, and espouses racial superiorities. Yet I can find it in nearly every library I go to. Disgusting.

Um, are you talking about the Bible, perchance?

“A Texas middle school teacher has been fired after assigning an unapproved illustrated version of Anne Frank's Diary to her eighth grade reading class. Per a report from KFDM confirmed by a spokesperson for Hamshire-Fannett ISD, located south of Beaumont. While district officials claim the adaptation of Anne Frank's Diary was not approved, it was included on a reading list sent to parents at the start of the school year, KFDM reports.”

No one is fine with school shootings.

No one.

I'm a little amused at the histrionics. There are definitely some books that are too sexually graphic and inappropriate for school libraries just as porn would be inappropriate for school computers. And some fo the gender theory books unfortunately fall to the graphic side of things, if you'd bothered to look at them.

And progressive, left wing librarians and school districts remove books from libraries ALL the time for being inappropriate and insensitive in today's modern culture, so they do practice their version of banning books, it's just not official. They just don't stock the books.

Perhaps a decent compromise would be to place the controversial gender theory, graphic or not, and CRT theory books in a counselor's office and with parental permission, the child can view it in the office. Seems like a decent compromise.

No books are being banned. They just aren’t available in schools. Are you upset you can’t get pro gun rights books in school or hustler magazine?
