[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think everyone trusted schools/librarians decisions until genderqueer and lawn boy came to light.

Then folks became a little wary because at a minimum, those books were controversial. Instead of saying, “yeah that may be a bit too far” or “we could probably do without the graphic novels about sex,” many became unwilling the common sense objections to these two and dug their heels in.

I think many left leaning folks like these mini culture wars because they can use this as an opportunity to call/label opposition as an *ist/*ism and shut down conversation about other items.[/quote]

nope, Moms4liberty looked high and low for things to dig their heels into. GQ and LB were never in many elementary schools. They threw a fit because heaven forbid their kids learn anything "different." And if you know the definition of porn, GQ doesn't qualify. [/quote]
Never called them porn. Just said they were controversial.

Many elementary schools? Jeez. I was hoping none, and was talking about middle schools and high schools.

Your response and PP response illustrate the issue perfectly though.[/quote]

and what is that? The bible is controversial FFS[/quote]Does the Bible have pictures of strap-on blowjobs and lesbian 69ing?[/quote]

It has rape, torture, murder and more. But we get it, you like rape, torture and murder.

[/quote]Does the Bible have pictures of that?[/quote]

Illustrated Bibles do.

But words can be just as powerful as pictures. [/quote]If those illustrated bibles contain porn they do not belong in schools either.  And no, words and pictures are different.  Just like silence is not violence.[/quote]

[b]Words and pictures are not different[/b], sometimes words are more titillating.

-Woman who gets off more from reading erotica than watching porn.[/quote]This is progressivism in 2023.[/quote]

The erotica/romance book industry sells more than any other type of book. Must be something about those words.[/quote]OK, thank you for admitting that words and pictures ARE, in fact, different.  And written erotica has no place in schools either.[/quote]
