[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this keeps books with images of sex acts or instructions on how to get on Grindr out of our schools, I’m perfectly fine with it.  [/quote]

Frankly, if my HS age son is reading lewd books rather than perusing the internet, I would call that a win. Honestly in today’s society kids have basically open access to the internet. Or peer shared material. Just be honest - conservative parents want to control the information their kids have access to/learn.[/quote]

I think your last sentence is true of many conservatives and liberals.  You think liberals would be okay if a school started teaching creationism?[/quote]

I am a liberal.  I would have zero issues with a book of creationism in my kid’s library.  So long as it was no being presented as science, and it was shelved with the myths or world philosophies or whatever, I would wholeheartedly support this.  I do not support nook banning. [/b]

That is entirely different than what is being taught in schools and what is on the curriculum. I would have a problem with creationism or religion being taught.  They can certainly be discussed in the appropriate classes, though.

“Control of kids” for us comes from many many hours spent talking about world view.  I believe my kids know what we think.  They should be free to come to terms with what they believe and part of that is access to books and media.  I do not wish to control that even if my non Christian kid picks up a Bible and becomes some sort of charismatic Christian.  [/quote]

“As long as I can control exactly where those books are and how they are categorized, they are fine with me.”  :mrgreen:
