Oh sweet summer child. This comic book that deals with teens grappling of sexuality and identity is not going to fall under that study's definition of sexually explicit media. It just won't. Did you even read the descriptions of what content they were considering as sexually explicit media?

You know what is more disturbing than a memoir? The messages about sexuality that teens get from advertisement. But I bet you don't get yourself all worked up over that.

The number of people who are naïve about the intentions of individuals who want to introduce sexually explicit content to other people's children is staggering. The reality is that so-called MAP and their apologists have been campaigning for decades to normalize sexually explicit materials to children. Some of them of probably here in this thread under the cloak of anonymity campaigning to normalize to DC moms that public schools should provide access to sexually explicit content to minors.

What is your definition of "sexually explicit"? And what ages are you talking about when you say "children"? Come on now, you need to be specific with these things. Ankles were considered "sexually explicit" in the 19th century.

Fwiw, some of the Canterbury Tales are pretty raunchy. I dont know that high school students shouldn't read any of them, but yeah, as a teacher or even a parent I'd be given some pause about whether high school is the right time of life to experience them.

If a teenager can understand and interpret the Canterbury tales and derives any prurient interest from it, more power to 'em. Lol.

The fact that you don't know if the Canterbury tales should be available to high schoolers says all that needs to be said about your position

JFC...the dumbing down of Murica is real! You have a problem with high schoolers reading the Canterbury Tales?! I am 62 and read it in high school English class. That was back when porn was only available in magazines, not on a small screen like now. The average American elementary school kid sees more "raunchy" stuff on their phones than I and my peers did in HS in the 70s. Canterbury Tales ain't got nothing on what your kids look at every day.
