[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't get past 8 seconds. There was a thread recently discussing how the books for middle schoolers had rape, cutting, abuse, etc. one side was "wtf?" the other side was "your precious snowflake should know about these things". [/quote]

Even if most middle schoolers know about some of those things, that’s completely different to normalizing it as every day occurrences in a school book.[/quote]

Is stuff in a school book "normalized"? I read "A Rose for Emily" in school but that didn't normalize necrophilia.[/quote]

This.

I'm never in favor of censoring or deciding for others what they should read or what is "trash" or what is "unacceptable." You don't want to have those books as assigned reading? That's fair. But to say the kids shouldn't be getting them from the library to read? No, sorry. That's going too far. Those decisions should be made by the kids and their family.

These folks were way to holier than thou. It oozed a Gilead-esque view that I am not comfortable with on any level.[/quote]
