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.
Graphic depictions of sex acts do not belong in schools. It boggles my mind that this is not universally agreed to.
They’re just books. You should see what your kids have access to on their phones
Most people would agree that exposure to porn is damaging to children. The fact that some kids access it on their phones does not mean that schools should be providing it in their libraries.
Not all descriptions of sex is pornography.
Jeff won’t allow images from the book Gender Queer to be posted on this website because his advertisers consider it to be nsfw.
You are welcome to give the book to your 14 year old. Many parents don’t think it’s acceptable to have in school libraries.

Reading a book with adult themes is not the same as a children watching a porn on pornhub. Find something else to be outraged about.

Which titles do you think are “porn” and have “questionable sexual content”? Titles, not a wave of the christofascist hand.
Dp. Gender Queer and This Book is Gay are two that come to mind.
Any evidence of these books being available to young children, or contain "porn"? Both books are written for teens and young adults that are at least high school age. If you're objecting to that, then I'm guessing you are the type that preaches for abstinence-only sex education.
You’d guess wrong. I’m all for factual sex education. These books are not that.

They are in school libraries. Hence the uproar.

It’s not. I read literature as a teenager that had some sex in it. It was fine and healthy.
