Honey I went to public school and am much younger than you. None of this s*** flew then and it won’t fly now, no matter how hard liberals stomp their feet and complain that tales of child prostitution won’t be taught in schools.

Yes, that’s definitely what the last election showed. Parents really love handing over the reigns of their children’s education to school boards.

They are going to like turning over the reins to people like you even less. I fully support your right to decide what your own children read. But when you also appoint yourself the arbiter of what everyone else's children can read, you are going too far. If you don't want your child to read the book, don't let them check it out of the library. But supporting book burning because of your own preferences is unacceptable.

Yeah see the thing about “my preferences” is it happens to be the “preference” protected under federal law. This book - being distributed to minors - is a federal crime. And should be treated as such. https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/obscenity

The likes of you and the children you are raising don’t read books anyway. The topics are not being taught. They are accessible books. Do you even have enough education about history to understand why book burning is bad? Critical thinking skills have been bred out of your family. Thirty years of home schooling has doomed this country.

You really don't get the difference from school systems purchasing disturbing books and putting them in school libraries and "banning books?"

No one is calling on books to be banned. We just want common sense controlsof what goes into school libraries where --with the exception of those just turned 18--all of the target audiences are minors.
