[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel terrible that school librarians are now going to be targets of this insane witch hunt. It is all for politics and all for show and yet it is going to create enormous stress, interfere with the important work that they do, and cause real harm to people.

It is so clear that these people don’t actually believe anything that they say and they don’t care what harm they cause.  They know children are in the audience and yet read passages that they know are intended for a young adult audience. Elementary schoolers are not highschoolers. Those passages are not in any books in an elementary school library.  But they don’t care, because it’s all just a big stunt. Conflating high school readers with kindergarten readers is precisely what they do. And they don’t care that I kindergarten or is actually listening, because actually caring about children is not the point. Ginning up political outrage is the point.  They disgust me.[/quote]

DP, but it disgusts me when the usual crowd defends graphic filth that’s unnecessary been brought into our schools on the grounds that it’s only for 13-year-olds, not 11-year-olds.  The only reason books like this get purchased for school libraries is that you have people trying to curry favor with local activists rather than teach kids any sense of moral or personal responsibility.
