[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think you typify a basic issue with Republican “thought.” This is fascism, and it’s precisely the same kind of thought that led the Nazis to purge their museums of art that they didn’t feel upheld Nazi ideals. This week it’s books with “sexually explicit” content, next week who knows why they’ll purge a book.[/quote]

So, parents who do not want hypersexual content in school libraries are Nazis?
Many high school libraries also share resources with middle school level kids.  So, these books are available to 12 year olds.

While many, many high school students are sexually active, there are also many who are not.  Why push this type of book?  Who does it help?  It seems that we are trying to make those kids who are not sexually active feel like the outsiders.

There is plenty of dark information available outside of school.  Why push it in school?  How about more about resilience?

This is not about censorship in general. This is about books for minors.  No one is "banning" books from being published or sold.
