[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this is what my spouse shared with me, but please get the full story before you comment. I do know one of these books available to 13 year olds shows an explicit drawing of someone giving a blow job. I’m no prude and I think we should exercise extreme caution censoring books, but I don’t want my kid reading that. And no, my kid also doesn’t have unfettered access to the internet. [/quote]

+1  I don’t support censorship of anything but restricting age inappropriate books is not only acceptable but sensible.  But some of the radical fringe insist 9 years should be exposed to graphic imagery.[/quote]

Parents interested in exposing their children to the abuse and rape of women, as well as other graphic depictions of sex, are welcome to check those books out in a public library to share with their kids.  They do not have any place in a public school.  Period.[/quote]

With all the classic literature and modern day books available, why should any school proactively lift up arguably inappropriate books for some age levels?

Can we agree that such books don’t belong in a K-5 school or middle schools? Can we use movie ratings as a guide?

When it comes to high school, I’m fine with all books being accessible. I’m not fine with certain books being required reading.

Honestly, I think some of the books have an unintended negative effect. Instead of fostering understanding and empathy, I worry that some actually promote harmful stereotypes. I don’t hear anyone evaluating impact, but perhaps someone should? I’ve heard some kids say as much when discussing required reading in mcps. [/quote]

Do any of these books tell kids that a psycho who demands “sure, you say you love me, but you have to prove it by killing your son” should be worshipped? [/quote]
