[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, you are not going to get much sympathy here.

This is just another drop in mainstream culture  becoming more openly sexual. Generally speaking the only groups of people who tend to oppose this trend are religious groups. Therefore, you will see a lot of pushback like the comments you see here. [/quote]

Right wing religious groups. I don't hear the episcopalians or the methodists complaining. As every one has pointed out, the issue seems to be the newness of the books or the fact there are minorities. None of you express concern with the 'classics', which address similar themes. Of course, I probably give you too much credit. You don't oppose the classics because you never read them or you were too dense to understand what they were actually talking about. [/quote]

Most of the book selections have nothing to do with literature or critical thinking. They are selected to prove how progressive a teacher or school is vs any really teaching objective.

I know well meaning white liberals want to appear to be so progressive, open minded, cool and these are the same parents who would not let there 10 yr old watch PG13 movies, would freak out if they found out their kid was viewing videos of sexual acts and masturbation and would take the kids phone, and don’t want their kids to date until senior year. And yet somehow they are a ok with reading sexually explicit passages and having them discuss them in class and no doubt telling their squeamish kid who doesn’t want to engage in that convo bc they are  uncomfortable that they are being silly and they are lucky they are getting the chance to read these books and discuss [/quote]
