Seriously with the book banning ?

[Anonymous]

I really think people who are trying to ban books haven’t read most of the books they aren’t trying to ban. The topics they object to are in most books, including the Bible.

There's this amazing thing called the internet where we can see images of books and their content. We don't need to read all of Genderqueer to know it contains porn.

Why do we have G, PG and R rated movies? It is so that some content is restricted from children.
I use common sense media a lot to determine what I wanted DC to see and not see based on age appropriate psychosocial development. I feel like most good parents do this.

Librarians already screen for age appropriate material in libraries.

I trust librarians as much as you trust the police.

Nope. Many students do NOT have access to
Free books. Many students don’t have parents who will take them to a library or have the technology to read digitally.
They need to be available for all students. Removing books students previously had access to is banning. Plain and simple.

You want gay porn in schools because of poor people? Come on man.

DP. I trust police in general, while acknowledging that there are certainly some who are unethical and in the wrong line of work.
Why don't you trust librarians? I know several (3 at the elementary school level, and one who works in a public library), and none of them are obsessed with pushing an agenda, other than encouraging a love of reading.

This! And I trust police too. They’re not mutually exclusive.

It’s not gay porn. Look up the definition of porn FFS. And who cares if a book has gay characters?

It’s a cartoon. A very simplified cartoon. Hardly titillating.

Sad. Librarians are the best humans. Seriously, they are. Go hang out in a library more and you’ll discover this universal truth.

Reread my statement and your response and then tell everyone how I feel about librarians.

I don't care about gay characters but pretending Genderqueer doesn't contain porn is simply crazy.

So there are no bad police and no bad librarians? Come on man.
