I already gave you an answer.
But if you'd like I can give you another one:
I trust the children. I trust them not to die of a heart attack from seeing some ridiculous drawings. I trust them to not become raving sex-addicts from reading about it.
Something you obviously think they will be.
Leftists..... Yeah, here I'll make it easy for you:
In order for a book to be inappropriate for children, you have to convince me of one of two things:
1: The book are deliberately deceiving the children, and not in the Lie-to-children, way (look it up if you don't know what that means).
Or
2: The book is harmful to the children, either mentally or physically (and no, hitting the children with said books do not count).
If however it offends your sensibilities or any such nonsense, kindly sod off snowflake.

SO its ok to give religious books to kids, regardless of their parents beliefs or lack thereof? |

It's ok to have them in the library and to lend them out? Absolutely.

The article is about porn on the internet, this is about book banning in the libraries. |

Let's just narrow it down to introducing sexual material to young people long before they're equipped to understand or deal with it.
This is the danger in the weaponization and politisation of these things. It's more important to 'get 'em while they're young'?

Kids today are exposed to way too much sexually explicit and violent material, but it's not coming from books; it's what available at home. Ask the average under-ten child who Chucky the doll is, and they'll likely know. When I overheard two 2nd-grade children discussing someone named "Pennywise," I had to ask them who that was. They both were able to tell me that it was a child-murdering clown from a Stephen King movie, of course (I'd never seen it, but I guess these kids were big fans). Then there's the video games and the internet porn that's available at home.
But parents aren't going to blame themselves. It's always some outside influence, like some friend with "bad" parents, or a school curriculum which dares to teach them such dangerous concepts as "diversity," or a student body consisting of children from different cultures, or books about friendship.

It's both.
The smart phones/tablets have made accessing the online stuff all that much easier, of course.
Dismissing what's all involved in those 'diversity' lessons does not help, though.

The latest is DICTIONARIES. They're banning DICTIONARIES. fffs Because it has the word "DIC" in the title. I recently had a third-grader helpfully inform me that a book of poems in his classroom was school-inappropriate because it contained a dirty word. He showed me the offensive page; it included a poem written by author Dick King-Smith. I had to explain that that was a man's name; where did the kid learn that word, anyway? |

I've asked you multiple times now to address the two samples I provided. You are bending over backwards to avoid answering. Why? I already gave you an answer.
But if you'd like I can give you another one:
I trust the children. I trust them not to die of a heart attack from seeing some ridiculous drawings. I trust them to not become raving sex-addicts from reading about it.

Juxtaposing images of a picture book that isn't part of any school curriculum with passages from an adult memoir proves nothing except how far hysterics will go to try to prove their point.
How about providing the names of some school districts which are using these books as part of their reading programs?

So you're moving from 'These books aren't in the schools' to 'OK they're in the schools, but they're not part of the reading program'? |

Uh, you do know that stuff isn't from that book and you're sourcing two different things right? |
