Oh relax. Young children should not be exposed to this and you know it. Nothings banned.

But it'a perfectly fine to expose a young child to a mass school shooting, or force a 12 year to deliver a child.

Typical progressive conflation of topics. Focus. These issues have nothing to do with each other.

You have strong pedophile vibes.

Meanwhile, all of the books about African American history and that represent gay families are out. Children’s books, not smut. “Before She Was Harriet:” why is that gone?

Amazing. All you progressives want Penthouse in school libraries.

what is with the Penthouse stuff? Penthouse/Playboy was never in school libraries. I mean, What are you talking about? You're throwing crap at the wall and hoping something sticks. Do you not understand how libraries work? Do you not understand what banning books is?
Stop listening to your pastor and Fox news..

Its difficult to debate with progressives because you so emotional and can't focus on what's actually being asked which was do you want Penthouse in school libraries? Yes or no? And why or why not? And as a Democrat, I don't watch much Fox News

I’m a school librarian who would not put penthouse in the library. I would, however, put other books, which I deem appropriate, in the library.
It’s about age appropriateness and book choice.
I’be been doing this for 25 years. No one has been corrupted on my watch because I’m professionally trained with degrees in education and media studies.
Parents are not.
It’s not hard to figure out.

What's your take on Genderqueer and Lawn Boy?

I wouldn’t put lawn boy in my school because I don’t think it’s particularly well written.
Gender queer should be in HS. Maybe late junior high.

See, we make decisions like this all day long. But this banning of books and accusatory nature towards educators is tiring, frustrating and ultimately, bad for our learners.
Stop.

Do you think the racist Kendi's book Stamped is appropriate for kids?

Depends on grade level of building. For sure in HS

this directly affects me.

I'm so glad they're doing this. This is the second lawsuit brought against the state.

And for the stupid penthouse question - what a strawman argument. That's not in school libraries and you know it.
Taking existing books out of school libraries is banning books because it restricts access. Educate yourself.

A million times this.

You simpletons raising the Penthouse example are so dumb. Those aren't in the libraries. And even if they were, you have no right or entitlement to block access from my child. To make decisions for my child. You make them for yourself.

That's entirely the point here. Who the EFF do you think you are deciding for me? Well, it'll be over my dead body.

So you want Penthouse in school libraries?

you missed my point. It was never there to begin with. Banning books is taking them out of circulation and restricting their access.

You missed MY point. Why was it never there to begin with?

No one can take you seriously with your Penthouse argument.

You're missing the point. Penthouse isn't in school libraries, and you know it. You're being deliberately obtuse.
And, no, I don't want Penthouse in my 2nd grader's elementary school library (and, please, point me to all these elementary schools with pornographic material you think is just lurking on their library shelves). But I do want her to have access to books with characters who don't look exactly like us, or have the exact same life experiences as us. Oh, and Judy Blume. I'd like for her to be able to read Judy Blume.
