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.


Typical conservative deflection. You can't logically answer the question, and proves what pathetic hypocrites you are.
First. I'm a liberal Democrat. Second, what question?


I hate to break this to you, but you are not a liberal Democrat.

A man wearing a wig and a skirt tells you he's a woman and you're happy to believe him but a man who isn't woke and insane tells you he's a liberal Democrat and you don't? This is progressivism in 2023 folks.


No. I am an old school liberal Democrat. Not a huge fan of the trans push and pronoun obsession.

But what you are proposing is censorship plain and simple. Screaming it's "porn" doesn't make it so.

Calling it censorship is simply ridiculous. I'm asking for slightly better curation that would exclude sexually explicit material from school libraries. I'm not asking for a ban. If you were more liberal (like me) you would see the nuance rather than promoting the woke position.


The reason we know you aren't sincere is you keep yakking about Penthouse and GenderQueer, but we see that in Florida, books that have been in libraries for decades are being pulled out of schools and deemed illicit sexual content.

And I would rather see GenderQueer in the library than see Judy Blume pulled out of the library.

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.
Thank you for admitting that you want porn in schools as long as it's the right kind of porn.


Look up the definition of porn. It’s meant to be titillating. Gender queer is not. Have you read it?
We’ll never agree on this. But you don’t get to decide what books my kids read.


When I was in late elementary school, I babysat for a family who had Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex. I am so grateful. That knowledge was power and I postponed sex until my mid 20s because of it.


Sex is life. All kids should learn about before puberty.
We get it. You want porn in schools. You don't have to keep telling us.


We get it. You are prude and can't handle a discussion about comprehensive sex education. You don't have to keep replying to show how foolish you are.

Do what do you call the graphic, vidmsual depiction of sex acts in a book like Genderqueer?


A graphic graphic novel. But not porn.
A graphic novel containing explicit sex acts.

No one is stopping you from buying the book and giving it to your kids. People are saying it’s not appropriate for school libraries.
