How does that make it ok to ban it?

For a variety of reasons, schools now only use authorized books. If a book isn't authorized, teachers don't (shouldn't) use it. You're saying that every single book that is not on the authorized list for a class/grade is banned. Mmkay...

“For a variety of reasons” is doing some heavy lifting here.

Now you're railing against authorized book lists. No wonder teachers are quitting in droves..

I do know one of these books available to 13 year olds shows an explicit drawing of someone giving a blow job. I’m no prude and I think we should exercise extreme caution censoring books, but I don’t want my kid reading that. And no, my kid also doesn’t have unfettered access to the internet.

Well said.

It’s not “well said,” it’s a lie because none of you has actually picked up and read the ONE book you’re all obsessed with. Meanwhile I posted a link to a list of children’s books that have been banned and not a one of you brown shirts can explain why.

You are arguing for firing teachers. Let that sink in…

Man sounds like an authoritarian school system. No wonder teachers don’t want to teach anymore.

Glad i found this topic after a quick google search. When news about the teacher being fired over this book even reached our news broadcasts in holland it got me very curious and i wanted to learn more about the way amaricans want their kids to be schooled.

These last few pages were an amazing read into what goes around inside your head. 10/10

greetings from holland

How easy is that?

You think you’d get fired for showing this to your employees?

So bring genderqueer to your office and show the oral sex pictures

Lol. Should I post some more of the totally subversive books you brown shirts have banned?

If you’d read the book instead of just being led around by the nose like the good little sheep you are, you’d know that was a finger. That whole two page part of the book is a bridge to the two protagonists talking about consent and how to talk about when sex doesn’t feel good. If you think high schoolers aren’t getting up this and more, do not have children. You will not be an able person to parent your child through adolescence if you don’t understand where they are developmentally.

Now let’s talk about “Before She Was Harriet.” Why did you ban that one, do you think?

why won’t you answer my question ? Why don’t you bring genderqueer to your office and show the oral sex pictures to your co workers? I mean if it’s okay for school kids to see in class why not your adult coworkers?

They’re not showing Genderqueer in class.

Now you answer why Before She Was Harriet has been banned.

yes they are having it in schools hence the controversy

No they’re not. Genderqueer hasn’t been used in classes. It has been available in middle and high school libraries where it belongs.

Now let’s address the hundreds of other books banned by the fascists. Before She Was Harriet. It’s one title among hundreds; why is it banned?

The majority of all school book challenges in the United States came from just 11 people. Here’s one in Virginia.

Scholastic Book Fair is making censorship fast and easy for all the fascists who might also plan book fairs. https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/scholastic-says-schools-can-exclude-diverse-titles-from-book-fairs/2023/10?utm_source=nl&utm_medium=eml&utm_campaign=eu&M=8043891&UUID=b0ea7e3f30811eaf60411751cbcc40c0&T=10694231

The Bible has some awful things in it. Really should be banned from most libraries.
