[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone be opposed to getting porn and books with questionable sexual content out of schools?[/quote]

Sexual content is not pornography. And reading about sexuality or sexual experiences through literature is much better than learning about it through gossip or actual porn on the internet.[/quote]

Graphic depictions of sex acts do not belong in schools.  It boggles my mind that this is not universally agreed to.  [/quote]

But why are your guys banning books about civil rights, honest U.S. history, acceptance of LGBTQ without any graphic sexual content, etc.? You all mention the same 2 or 3 books but you are banning hundreds and threatening and intimidating librarians and teachers and administrators and school boards. I don’t think you are acting in good faith. It’s just a right-wing backlash political stunt. [/quote]

I’m not.  I’m against sexual content in schools.  But when you fight against that restriction, one many would consider a low bar, you open the door for a flood of people ready to ban other books.

When you aren’t reasonable, you end up fighting other unreasonable people too.  [/quote]

Are you against sex ed? Please be very specific about how you define “sexual content.”  [/quote]

And also which grades you are for banning “sexual content” — k-12? Do you think 16 year olds need to be completely shielded from your definition of “sexual content”?  You need to be specific because vague laws will ban a much wider scope. It can’t be a matter of “I know it when I see it.” [/quote]
It would help, too, if most of the books the fascists have banned weren’t books about African American history and LGBTQ themes. I get that these banners are racists and homophobic, but Black kids deserve to see themselves and their history and gay kids or straight kids from gay families also deserve to see themselves. These people can’t make America look like their fantasies of the 1800s. Time moves on. [/quote]
