[quote=Anonymous][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]

Episcopalians and methodists are not having the most sacred parts of their religious beliefs denigrated and distained in a classroom required reading.[/quote]

Neither are Catholics.
