I’d like to hear from someone who supports these bans to share a story of someone they know who was personally harmed by one of the books banned. [/quote]

Interesting that no one could give specific example of this. [/quote]

Why does someone have to be “personally harmed” for it to be wrong?  Would you like *your* young children exposed to, say, a religion you don’t practice or political opinions you don’t agree with - while in school??  You’d be the first to be outraged about that.  Such hypocrisy.  Read all the sexual books you want with your kids.  Leave mine out of it.[/quote]

We’re talking about high school. Do you think high schoolers have to be sheltered fromm”sexual content” in the form of a comic book?

I have no problem with my teenagers reading this book.

I have no problem with children learning about different religions at any age. What a weird fear.  [/quote]

NP. Yes, I want my high schooler to be sheltered from sexual content.  That's a parenting decision. You can make a different parenting decision. We can both have what we want by not placing highly sexual content in schools.  [/quote]

So, I'm curious, for parents who don't want Gender Queer in their high school library, how do you monitor your child's media exposure in general?  Do they have phones?  Internet access?  Social media?  Do you monitor their internet use?  There is so much sexual content everywhere - how do you shelter your teen from our society?

I handle it mostly by talking to them about what they're reading / watching / viewing, and making sure they know our values around that.  We live in a society with constant exposure to things I find objectionable, and at some point, it's on me to make sure they know what's right and to trust that I've taught them to make good decisions.[/quote]

It's immaterial.  Sexually explicit material doesnt have a place in school, particularly because schooling is compulsary. If you want your children to read it, then get it for them. It has no redeeming educational value.  Its a cultural thing, and many find it morally objectionable. Surely you can understand why similar themes, like "the joy of traditional family structures" would not be acceptable. [/quote]

Just because you think this particular book has no redeeming value doesn’t mean others don’t see the value.

You seem to be suggesting that all school libraries get emptied because there is bound to be one parent who finds no redeeming educational value in every single book. [/quote]

“Emptied”?  Hyperbole, much?  We’re talking about certain sexually explicit books - that’s it.  Feel free to buy that garbage for your own kids.

That’s it [i]for now.[/i] You’re clearly a right winger and have been well indoctrinated, but there are historical examples of the path the GOP is on, and it doesn’t stop with “sekshually GrApHiC” books.[/quote]

Then you go live in an area where others share your views. [/quote]
Nah, fascism isn’t appropriate anywhere. Parents could already put a book on their tiny little high schooler’s no no list so they couldn’t check it out but nooooo the control freak conservatives have to take away this book from all the ittle wittle high schoolers to “protect” them.[/quote]

I was in Marshall HS today and was surprised what books were being promoted in the library display, along with the amount of pro LGBTQIP+ stuff all over campus. From the looks of it, you wouldn't think any other demographic existed on campus.  I would have expected to see more signage for pro BIPOC issues.

What, no pro-hetersexual stuff??[/quote]

That's passe.[/quote]
