[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we can't even agree on what counts as pornographic, I don't know if we can really have a productive conversation. I don't think there is any excuse for having explicit sexual content in schools, whether it's visual or written. There's nothing that can change my mind on that. And it's honestly disturbing that so many people don't see a problem with explicit sexual content being available to minors. [/quote]

We can't have a productive conversation. And the disagreements lie - among other places - on what constitutes "explicit sexual content." The book banners think that a depiction of two women holding hands is explicit. They think that the merest nod to gay and/or trans people's existence is pornographic and explicit.

And even to get more subtle, they think any depiction of or acknowledgement of sex - no matter the context - makes a work inherently inappropriate.

What do you do with that? Just burn all the books I guess if we let the most extreme book banners set the standards.[/quote]
