[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s pretty disturbing grown adults feel a need for 11 year olds to be educated on their sexuality.  Leave the kids alone.  [/quote]
Apparently you were never in middle school. Kids are aware. Hormones are everywhere. You can smell in the halls. (Or was that just more Axe?)[/quote]

When I was 11, I was entering 6th grade, my last year of elementary school. Middle school was a world away. These kids are still 11 and prepubescent, even though we push them into middle school with kids who already smell like hormones and Axe.[/quote]

It was in direct response to your comment. You were replying to the fact that kids are already aware of the issues in this book. You're trying to say 11 year olds are prepubescent and pushed in with middle school kids too soon, implying a book like this is too soon for them. Also, the world has changed since you were 11. Try and keep up.[/quote]

That's because MCPS started talking about them in ES.[/quote]

Talking about who? Talking about what?[/quote]

MCPS starts introducing kids to the idea of being non-binary or trans in ES.  There are boos available in the library and the librarians will sometimes choose these LGBQT-friendly books to read to the kids.  [/quote]

You’re delusional if you don’t think they know this without any help from mcps or a book. Join the rest of us in the real world.[/quote]

This is a ridiculous argument.  There are plenty of topics that MS kids may ‘know about’.  Not all of them are appropriate for MCPS to require reading about.[/quote]
