[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gender Queer does not have any underage sex acts. The main character is a virgin until age 25.  But there is talk/graphics about menstruation, breasts, vagina, pretending to have a penis, etc.

Later when the main character is much older there is more sexualized talk. Perhaps it’s better for a college library than high school.[/quote]

I don't want my child in any school where they read about or talk about their genitals unless it's in a scientific or medical discussion.  It's NOT appropriate.  [/quote]

Same poster - If it's not appropriate to discuss at work, it's not appropriate at school.  I cannot go to a coworkers office and talk about my genitals or sex.  We have trainings for that.  It is considered sexual harassment. [/quote]

No one was discussing it. It’s a library book your teen can check out on their own.[/quote]

So, could I provide the excerpts in question to my coworkers or boss?  How about if I pretend the main character is myself, and I email the story about "me" to my coworkers and boss?  How about in a federal workplace?  Would I be safe from a sexual harassment complaint?  NO.  Because it's inappropriate.

How will children today comprehend what is sexually appropriate vs. inappropriate when they in a professional setting?  I forsee a lot of blunders landing these future workers in very hot water because their view of "appropriate" will be so, so divergent than our own upbringing.  [/quote]

If I started emailing my coworkers excepts from The Bible or the Quran, I'd get in trouble. Does that mean we need to take those of the shelves of school libraries? [/quote]

Wait.. what? The Quran and the Bible are in the school library... now that could really get the RNC ginned up. Alert the press.[/quote]

🚨 🚨 🚨 [b]GOP OUTRAGE ALERT[/b] 🚨 🚨 🚨

Attention, brainless plebes. Please be aware that FCPS has disgusting filth - the Bible and Quran - in the school libraries.

Proceed with full outrage mode.
