[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Double and triple down.

These are your Democrats people.[/quote]

The sad thing is these folks think they are being clever with this type of rhetorical jiu jitsu.  Normal people see through it as an obvious attempt to deflect and avoid dealing with the problem. [/quote]

Agreed.  However, our flaw is that in the spirit of sincere thought and rational exchanges, we think/hope these folk will be persuaded.  As evidenced by this thread, they won't.

What we should be doing (as some have), is calling them out for encouraging the moral decline of the system.  Defining deviancy down.[/quote]

Young people explore their sexuality. There is nothing deviant about that.

You have done weird hang-ups.

School is not the place to teach that/[/quote]

Books to read in high school are how we take kids and (hopefully) turn them into thoughtful mature adults. Sexuality is part of life and it's definitely part of life for high schoolers, whether they're having it or not. I'm fine with the books in question, though I understand good faith disagreement on that, but I'm really troubled by the broader implication that there can be no sex in high school libraries. The culture is awash in sex and actual pornography, a place where high schoolers can see depictions of adult sexuality that AREN'T Pornhub is really important, now more than ever.[/quote]

The same can be said of opiates, other drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and vaping.  American culture is awash with combinations of these things.

Should kids explore heroin, smoking, beer, and vapes at school too?[/quote]

You really aren't very bright, are you? I have not one iota of doubt that you are a flat earther and that you haven't actually read a book (not counting the board books you MAY have read as a toddler or perhaps you read to your toddlers) in your entire life. You are genuinely confused and sad. I almost feel sorry for you. Please just stop. Have a cup of tea, tidy up your kitchen and go to bed.
